Hi,
I am a bit confused now: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productsmf.php 
lists "HPIJS" as backend solution for the HP Officejet K80, but not 
"HPLIP". For HPIJS, it shows "no" for USB/Network, and "no" for Service 
and Fax.

By mistake, I first tried to use HPLIP for this printer, which didn't 
work at all. Now I use the old-style HPOJ solution with USB connection 
and manual installation of the ptal driver ("ptal init setup"). This 
works for printing and scanning but there are no service functions, 
except the small LCD display applet.

Can someone clear that up: 
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hplip_readme.html states that HPLIP 
shall be a successor/replacement for the HPOJ package. But, if so, why 
doesn't it support printing through the USB connection for the K Series? 
Maybe this type of printer and the USB connection will be supported in 
later versions of HPLIP?

Bye, Thomas
