Workaround: I installed HPLIP version 3.9.4b from the HP web site on Jaunty. It installed successfully and located and installed the printer correctly where the printer was plugged into that computer. I have not tried installing a remote printer with 3.9.4b. The installation process is straightforward. I don't think anyone should have any problems with it.
The only down side is that apt, etc., report HPLIP version as hplip-3.9.2-3, the old version. Running "hp-setup --help" shows that the correct version is indeed installed. This could have implications for upgrades later on.
