hplip

[Timothy Murphy]

I shouldn't really butt in,
but what is the advantage of using hplip,
as opposed to just giving the printer in CUPS?

Well, maybe I am being unfair.
I run hplip with my ancient LaserJet 5L,
because hplip suggested it could clean the print-head,
and tell me how low the cartridge was;
but in fact I find it cannot do either with this printer.
I'm just wondering if the print-quality is better,
or if there are any other advantages?
