In my wanderings around the web, I had found .exe files (on the HP web
site) which purported to be Windows postscript drivers. These appeared
to be completely useless for my purposes, since I assumed there were
something that would only work with Windows. However, on browsing
linuxprinting.org, I saw it stated that running unzip on the .exe file
would open it up and produce some .ppd files, which appears to be
correct. So I just need to find out which version of the ppd file to
use. I'm not quite sure why the Debian package hp-ppd does not contain
it though. Perhaps copyright reasons?
Faheem.
