I'm left wondering how all the pieces fit together. It's all

HP's sourceforge page says something about recompiling ghostscript with
the hpdj driver included, which sounds like a real hassle to me.
Mandrake (and other distros), however, already includes HP's driver with
their distribution and I had no problems getting my HP DeskJet 932C
working with LM8.0 and CUPS... It's all a matter of the driver getting
bundled with Debian's cups/gs/whatever package. Are there any plans for
doing this?
