Please, don't crosspost lists and newsgroups: it's bad enough having my 
email address in Debian archives without having it in newgroups too.

Had I noticed before beginning to reply, <plonk>

Since hpoj is the HP-supported  OSS project speficially  to support 
these devices, I wouldn't expect so.

Also, were I to acquire one of these HP all-in-one devices (and I have 
been considering it), I would most assuredly go straight to Sarge.

According to email I got from HP recently, this project supports all 
current and near-future devices BUT woody is just too ancient.
