I have several HP printers, and I was also annoyed that I had to install a separate tool to query ink status. Although HP printers are well- supported in Linux, it's a mystery as to why hplip is not installed by default. Space limitations on CD perhaps? Gnome will warn laptop users of explosive batteries, perhaps a script could query installed printers and recommend the hplip toolkit for those users that have installed HP printers.
