HP OfficeJet Linux driver (hpoj)

This software provides Linux support for most "multi-function" (also known as "all-in-one") peripherals from Hewlett-Packard, including OfficeJet, LaserJet, Printer/Scanner/Copier ("PSC"), and PhotoSmart printer products.

It consists of: 

 - Low-level drivers and libraries to communicate with the device.
 Depending on your hardware and operating system, you may connect devices
 directly to your computer with a parallel port or USB (Universal Serial
 Bus), or to a LAN (Local Area Network) using certain models of HP JetDirect
 print servers.
 - An application programming interface (API) known as "PTAL" (Peripheral
 Transport Abstraction Library) that hides the differences in accessing
 devices connected via parallel, USB, or JetDirect.
 - Printing support, largely powered by ghostscript, the hpijs driver (for
 most models), and one of various print spoolers (lpd, CUPS, PDQ, etc.)
 that may already be installed on your computer.
 - Scanning support, in conjunction with SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy).
 - Access to photo-card readers, in conjunction with mtools.
 - Graphical and command-line applications to access various features of
 the device, such as displaying status of the device and setting the clock.

Upstream development for HP multifunction devices has now been overtaken by the hplip package, if you are running a USB or jetdirect interface you may be better served by the 'hplip' package.
