I don't know if you can get JetAdmin for Linux, but I suggest looking
at CUPS.  I have JetAdmin at work on Solaris and CUPS at home and they
seem pretty similar to me.  When you say check the status of an HP
printer, what do you mean?  Is it something more than a cron job
grepping the result of 'lpstat -p printer'?
