[Wolves] Setting up Officejet 6500 Wireless/USB

[Andy Jewell]

I'll hazard a guess:

apt-get install cups

That's the ubuntu package name - might be the same on backtrack. You  
will of course need a network connection (wired or wireless) for  
access to the repository.

Btw Cups is the common unix printing system.

Give it a go.
