RE: [hpoj-devel] Not sure if this is useful or not...

Hi, Josh.  The init scripts referenced on the TODO page were for starting
and stopping the ptal-printd daemon, which was introduced in version 0.7 and
eliminates the need for the "wrapfilter" script.

Regarding the DeskJet 550C driver, you could also try the cdj970 driver,
which I haven't personally tried.  See
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=cdj970 and
http://www.harsch.net/Ghostscript/ghostscript.html.
