  I answered this question: Rather than specify a device of "Parallel
  port", specify "AppSocket/HP JetDirect", and then use
  "parallel:/dev/ptal-printd/mlc_par_0" for the device URI.

  Still working on improving the driver.

  Just read this in the hpoj docs which might superseded the cdj970
  driver:

    For the best print quality, use the HP inkjet driver, which consists
    of a modification to ghostscript and a separate "server" process
    (hpijs).

  gs -h shows hpijs, and there is a hpijs package, so it seems to be
  possible that this can be used.

  Question 3: Does this comment apply to the OfficeJet G85, and if so,
  how does one use it?
