Hi

I've an HP Deskjet 5150 connected by USB. The RH9 printer setup wizard
senses it as a 5100 but then wants me to choose the printer model from a
list. There are lots of DeskJets listed, but none that are actually close.

What would you do?

a) contact HP and ask them
b) ditch RH9 and install Fedora instead in the hope that it lists the
printer and thus forstalling an upgrade later on
c) presumably there's a way of getting the printer onto the list, but I've
no idea how to do that
d) go with the generic printer thing, but that only lists Postscript, and
this is PCL.

Cheers
J
