HP Linux Imaging and Printing


The HPLIP project — initiated and led by HP Inc. — aims to ease Linux systems' ability to interact with HP's inkjet and laser printers with full printing, scanning, and faxing support. the supplied printer-drivers support a total of 2,867 HP printer models; many of these for low-end models are free and open-source, licensed under MIT, BSD, and GPL licenses, but others require proprietary binary blobs. The project intends that HPLIP work in combination with CUPS and SANE to perform printing and scanning respectively.
HPOJ, the HP OfficeJet Linux driver to get HP's OfficeJet printers to run with Linux, ceased development as of 13 March 2006 with the advent of HPLIP.
