>> This is a bit off-topic, but, for printing from Scribus I have an HP2055dn, which I see from the Scribus documentation is actually a recommended printer.  I can print fine from Windows, but I can't install the printer in Linux.  It seems the missing component is the PPD file.  I installed HP’s hplip utility and it detects the printer, but then it can't install the printer because it needs the correct PPD file.  I haven't found where to get this file, either from HP or from my Linux distro, which is Debian.
