hey I am with you man!

I followed the printing guid.... and there are no hpijs drivers properly listed in the foomatic database...

ya I at one point had to search for them by hand ........ :idea:

then I found this......

http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html

go down the page and grab the foomatic-db-hpijs and put it in your .../foomatic/db/

then follow the instructions as per gentoo printing guide.

don't know why there isn't an ebuild ...grumble .....grumble...
