Hi Jason,

That's the one, though I think mine goes by the cumbersome full title of
'HP Officejet 4500 g510n'. I don't do an awful lot of printing, scanning or
faxing but it all seems perfectly functional through the HPLIP drivers and
applications.

As I said, I have a sabayon, the hplip driver is in the standard repository
for this distro as I suspect it is for most other distributions.
