Package Description
Release Date: October 29, 2007
The [[http://www.openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs|HPIJS]] driver is the first free, [[http://hplip.sourceforge.net/|open-source driver]] issued by HP for their DeskJet and LaserJet printers. For most [[https://www.linuxfoundation.org/#Printers|supported printers]], this driver produces output quality equivalent to the proprietary HP drivers. In photo mode, with photo paper, the output quality is very high, especially for the HP DeskJet 990C and later models, which auto-detect the paper type in hardware. Photo printing is fully supported in the newer 6- and 7-ink models.
A major advantage of using this driver over those supplied by HP is the direct interface between HPIJS and the native CUPS spooler, which allows printing from any printer over any available connection such as USB, AppleTalk, TCP/IP (via LPD and IPP), HP JetDirect, and shared windows printers via SAMBA. Additionally, this driver utilizes the existing Mac OS X USB "backend" and thus does not install any software that might interfere with standard USB operation.
Please note:
HPIJS is HP's universal printer driver for most of their non-PostScript printers. It comes as a part of HPLIP, HP Linux Imaging and Printing. The supplied PPDs are provided by OpenPrinting.org and include PPDs for printers made by HP and printers made by other manufacturers. HP does not provide support for any non-HP printer.
- This installation package does not include the Foomatic-RIP CUPS filter script. If you have not already installed the Foomatic-RIP, you should do so before installing this package.
- several HP USB devices may not print successfully over the standard Mac OS X USB “backend”. Please see this note for more information.

More Info
The HPIJS drivers are part of the [[http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html|HP Linux Imaging and Printing Project]] (HPLIP). They are an add-on printer driver for Ghostscript. This driver is free, open-source software based on the Hewlett-Packard Appliance Printing Development Kit (APDK) for deskjet printers. The driver uses the IJS interface which is a generalized IPC interface for client/server communications. The IJS interface, which was written by Raph Levien of Ghostscript, was inspired by the first HPIJS interface.
