As for gutenprint, it _can_ use IJS. But IJS is not necessary in order to set up printing via gutenprint through CUPS, because gutenprint comes with a native CUPS driver. If you prefer to use LPRng instead of CUPS, then yes, you need IJS. As for hpilp, I don't have a supported printer near me and can't say anything definite. -- Alexander E.
