on my new Dell , I have an HP5600 all-in-one attached, and I use smart to 
update the hplip installs.
bc at Paulspc:~> rpm -qa|grep hpl
hplip-hpijs-1.7.1-1.pm.1
hplip-1.7.1-1.pm.1
 
the HP stays mostly attached to my laptop. For home use, I usually use my 
trusty Epson stylus color 880.. I can get the ink cartridges for it much 
cheaper.
