The reason I raised the point was I know of people using D15XX (but where XX < 80) with hplip versions well below 2.8.5, and HP now claims 2.8.5 to be the minimum for those printers too, as well as for a whole lot of printers which are known to work with hplip versions less than 2.8.5. If I am not mistaken, the hplip site blindly states 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement for all printers of this class. Maybe this is just a convenient way of doing things for HP rather than figuring out each printer's actual minimum requirement. > In any case, did you contact the port maintainer about updating > the port.

It was only intended to be a CC. Sorry. If you reply, please CC me separately. It makes it so much easier for me to reply, if needed. BTW, I have never used hplip/CUPS before. I do hope it's not terribly complex to setup and go. -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer. Now I are won.
