Comments:       This package contains printer drivers for many HP devices.
                It does not install scanners, faxes or control panels. However, it
                creates PPD configuration files dynamically, so you don't
                need a large permanent store of PPD's.

                not install scanners, faxes or control panels. However, it creates
                PPD configuration files dynamically to keep the package size small.

                This extension only works with CUPS 1.3.11. It is designed for
                HP owners who just want a basic printer driver and do not need the
                full HPLIP multi-function package. Be aware that some of the printers
                listed in HPIJS actually require CUPS 1.4 and HPLIP. Check out:

Current:        2009/10/15 - added libgs as a dep when it became its own extension

With all the changes to CUPS printing lately, some clarification might be helpful.

If you have an HP multi-function machine, use cups.tczl (CUPS 1.4x) and hplip.tczl

If you have an HP unit but just need a basic printer driver, use cups1311.tczl and
hpijs-dynppds.tcz

If you have a non-HP printer, use cups1311.tczl and gutenprint.tczl

If your HP printer is listed in Gutenprint and you don't need scanner support, try it instead of HPIJS. The driver is faster.
