I think I recently went through HP's entire current product line that is readily available in stores within the US. They pretty much (if not all) require a more recent version of HPLIP than is available in Trisquel 6. However that said there might have been something available for particular categories that I wrote off. My focus was mainly on consumer-oriented printers. I might be mistaken about another category of printer. For instance maybe there are some $2,000 USD + printers or similar still available. I probably stopped at around the $1000 USD mark.

Quite honestly I don't feel like going through all the printers to provide more solid info here. It is time consuming and I probably spent hours doing it already (twice I think). If somebody really wants to do it right and document it all they could. It would provide for a while something a tad bit better than what we have now. All they'd need to do is look at HP's site and do the research using HP's Recommended Printer Models list. You have to go and look up each model and then check three or four things related to plug-ins, firmware, HPLIP version, and ???. In any case. Have fun.

I guess I'll put a price tag on it in case somebody really really wants this. I'll do it if someone wants to donate $500.00 USD to the Trisquel project. Just contact me first place so I have the opertunity to commit/back out if things change (I'm mainly referring to people who might read this at some future date).
