It would be fantastic if hplip could be compiled for OS-X. There have been postings about this on the hplip in the past, and the response has been that it's not needed because there's a prefectly good HP driver for OS-X. Well, the HP all-in-one OS-X driver still sucks - it crashes, can't be used with fast user switching, can't be scripted, and has a generally abhorrent interface. But don't take my word for it. Here's an article, "The Sad State of Sucky Scanning Software on Mac OS X" :

I never met anyone who was. hplip on the the hand is great, I've got a LaserJet 3030 plugged into a Linux box, and the nearby Macs can scan fantastically via SANE over the network. It would be great however if I could plug an HP multifunction right into a Mac when there's no Linux box conveniently nearby. OS-X seems to have already all the dependencies to compile hplip - I didn't have success however, and I don't have the time at the moment to delve into this. It seems like the effort required to officially support hplip on OS-X would be minimal, while the payoff would be a lot of very happy people.
