The 6500A arrived this morning.  After installing an HPLIP PPA to get
version 3.11 of the drivers (still a point version behind what HP
offer), it recognised the printer (original Ubuntu 10.10 HPLIP did not).
 Had to manually install and run "hplip-gui" to get everything set-up as
the normal Ubuntu printer wizard thing didn't spot the fax facility.  It
all seems to we working right out of the box.

Guess I should submit a "it works" report to openprinting...
