Hi!

I've got a MacPro G5 that refuses to run Jessie (crashes on shutdowns, and sometimes crashes randomly without explicit shutdown).  So I have to use Wheezy on it.

I have a snazzy new HP OfficeJet 4630 "all-in-one" printer.  Jessie has a cups driver for it, but Wheezy doesn't.  I've looked in the Wheezy "backports" but to no avail.

Is there some way to extract just the driver for this printer from a Jessie machine and install it on my Wheezy G5?

Thanks for any help!

Rick
