Description
The official project page is http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/ . It's a project, supposedly funded by HP, that creates open-source drivers for HP's printers/scanners. It even supports scanning for HP's all-in-one models that don't seem to be widely support elsewhere.
There's also a FreeBSD port here, which might help: http:// www.freshports.org/graphics/hpoj . It seems that this can be installed by using a different package manager called pkg_add, but I wasn't able to find this for Mac OS X.
(hpoj supports printing and scanning, while the HPLIP software also mentioned on the hpoj project page only supports printing, and also supports fewer HP models. So hpoj would probably be better for a Fink package.)
