Supported printers are not a chore, thanks to cups. You'll want to install the necessary cups packages (cupsys hpijs), then point your browser to http://localhost:631/ - you can probably take it from there. linuxprinting.org tells me that your printer is supported perfectly by the hpjs driver: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_750 happy printing! -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
