Well..... hplip.sourceforge.ne <http://hplip.sourceforge.net/>t is telling
me that 'As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system
supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP.' So I
think to myself that I should d/l the version you want me to d/l. So I
click to d/l and finally come to a screen that has a button, click to 'Download
HPLIP 3.12.6' but not 2.8.7 . I'm going to d/l 3.12.6 and see what happens.
If you think I should do something else let me know.
