Hello Kent,
I don't mind pulling in a package or two from Testing, but I'm unsure
how to do it without doing a wholesale dist-upgrade to Testing.
Actually, so am I (unsure, that is). However, Boyd has given a good
answer.

Hello Kent,
Hmm, HP's website
(http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html) says
that Debian Lenny's hplip (v 2.8.6) supports the CM3530.
Maybe it uses a ppd with another name? Although that seems

Looking at the whole thread above, it looks like the hplip diagnostic
tools aren't being used.
1) Run hp-probe. Does it find the printer? If not, this is a
networking issue. Eter the printer's IP address in a browser window.
If the printer can be found this way, the router is blocking ports

Something I've never figured out with Debian is how to know which
package to install to get a certain printer driver.
I know I've printed to this HP Color Laserjet CM3530 from a Debian box
before, but I have no idea what package I had installed to do so, nor
what driver I chose (since I can't

I suggest just installing all the packages listed from (aptitude search '-

This should catch more printers than most
