Using HP printers in Linux (Fedora) - HP linux driver

We’re trying to run an HP4355 all in one fax,scan,copy,print printer in linux (Fedora Core 5). As you know, one of the biggest challenges with using linux is searching for drivers.

I’ve found a great application in sourceforge that supports many HP printers in linux. Its called HP Linux Imaging and Printing (http://hplip.sourceforge.net).

Configuring HP for linux was easy using hplip. You might need to connect your printer to the internet as there is a point where it will download (via yum) development packages from the internet.

You can then use CUPS to add the device and manage the printing. CUPS has a web management interface at (http://localhost:631).
