I have an HP printer and hplip doesn't work with it, so beware...

Dan,

Which HP printer do you have? I have used several in the past and never had 
issues with them.

One tip though, independent of brand, ink based printers may sound cheap, but I 
find the ink dries up long before they are supposed to be empty. Never had that 
problem with laser printers.

It's a Laserjet CP1025nw. I fought with hplip for a day or two, hplip 
recognized the printer but wouldn't install it properly. Even using 
kdesu or similar it would say it installed properly but nothing would 
print from it. I eventually found foo2zjs, which works fine with it.

It is possible. But is not simple.
You need to create a multilib chroot. Build packages there which you then 
install on your main environment.

Best try this on a VM first a few times to make sure you fully understand all 
the steps.

The printer take job but print not out. That's the problem. Im not sure
there is a way to run without driver from brother.
