Section utils - Debian Package: hpoj

 This software provides Linux support for most "multi-function"
 (or "all-in-one") peripherals from Hewlett-Packard, including OfficeJet,
 LaserJet, and Printer/Scanner/Copier ("PSC") products. It consists of:
 .
  - Low-level drivers and libraries to communicate with the device. Depending on
  your hardware and operating system configuration, you may connect devices
  directly to your workstation with a parallel port or USB (Universal Serial
  Bus), or to a LAN (Local Area Network) using certain models of HP JetDirect
  print servers.
 .
  - An application programming interface (API) known as "PTAL" (Peripheral
  Transport Abstraction Library) that hides the differences in accessing
  devices connected via parallel, USB, or JetDirect.
 .
  - Printing support, largely powered by ghostscript, the HP inkjet driver
  (for selected models), and one of various print spoolers (Berkeley lpd,
  gnulpr, LPRng, CUPS, PDQ, etc.) that may already be installed on your
  computer.
 .
  - Scanning support, powered either by Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) or
  by "ptal-hp scan", a command-line application provided with the hpoj package.
 .
  - Graphical and command-line applications to access various features of the
  peripheral, such as displaying status of the device and setting the clock.
