Recently at work, I had to set up a new HP, and had a hard time finding a Linux PPD, and our sysadmin had no more success. I ended up grabbing the OSX PPD and removing the Mac specific parts.
What was the new HP you were having trouble setting up at work, if you happen to remember?
It's an HP LJ P4515, and it works well now that it is setup.
To find the Linux driver, I went from the printer's web page to the HP support site to the HPLIP site. The first time, my browser crashed. The second time, I didn't see anything obvious to download. Then I gave up and hacked the Mac PPD. Now, in hindsight, I see that hplip-3.10.6.tar.gz has a suitable PPD. I found the process much more difficult than it should be.
