Any chance of HP LaserJet and overall improved printer support?

So next to my SAM460ex sometimes revisited by DJ Nicks X1000 sits a HP LaserJet 1010 that I can`t use, at least not via direct USB connection.

The main problem with the 1010 is the USB interface is Dot4.

Yes, it needs a host-based driver, but actually it's a subset of PCL5 so drivers-wise the LJ4 driver might work.

If you'd spent a bit more on the 1015, that's a proper PCL5 printer and if you have a parallel port it works direct from the Amiga.

THAT is a great response.
Although I just stopped leaving an XP machine running 24/7.
I might have to start doing that again.

It works great with the Pi and CUPS - no need to have a noisy power-hungry PC running 24/7.
