Hewlett-Packard develops HP Linux Imaging & Printing (HPLIP) software that includes a driver, a driver installer, and a toolbox for setup and configuring HP printers and All-in-Ones. The software supplies support for over 1,500 HP products, and works with nearly any Linux distribution on the market today.
Hewlett-Packard currently does not distribute HPLIP in printer boxes, nor is there Linux information in the printer documentation. However, all major Linux distributions regularly integrate HPLIP into their software releases. The latest HPLIP software resides on Sourceforge.net
note:Sourceforge.net is the official Web site for Open Source project development. The Web site acts as a repository for Open Source code, and provides tools for facilitating and managing the interactive nature of public code development. Sourceforge.net also acts as the most common noncommercial distribution point for Open Source software.
