Now, with projects such as CUPS and

 http://sourceforge.net/foundry/printing
 http://hp.sourceforge.net/
 http://hp.sourceforge.net/uhowto/eps-uhowto.php  (Enhanced Printing System)

I'm left wondering how all the pieces fit together.  It's all
very confusing to me.

HP's sourceforge page says something about recompiling ghostscript with the hpdj driver included, which sounds like a real hassle to me. Mandrake (and other distros), however, already includes HP's driver with their distribution and I had no problems getting my HP DeskJet 932C working with LM8.0 and CUPS... It's all a matter of the driver getting bundled with Debian's cups/gs/whatever package. Are there any plans for doing this?
