The hpdj driver has been in the Debian version of gs-aladdin for some
time (I don't know about the GNU-licensed gs package, but since that is
a revision or so behind the aladdin version, it could very well be
there also).  When I had a Deskjet 520, several of the other deskjet
drivers worked just as well, however (with lprng/magicfilter, I have
never used cups).
