I meant to copy this to the list.  Has anybody had any experience with the
OfficeJet LX?

Hi, Klaus.  I'm copying this to the hpoj-devel mailing list in case anybody
else knows more about this model than I do.

I have no experience with the OfficeJet LX, so I don't know for sure whether
it can be supported.  Several months ago I exchanged e-mails with somebody
else who asked the same question, and after he performed some diagnostics
I suggested, it looked like it wouldn't work.  Try the following suggestion
from the FAQ page (which I need to improve):

This retrieves a somewhat "cooked" version of the device ID string of the
peripheral.  Alternatively, you could try Tim Waugh's "deviceid" program
available at "ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/deviceid-0.3.tar.gz".
Let me know what output you get.
