I have the HP 5p, and was interested in contributing some to this
driver, but could not decipher who to talk to to get the above
mentioned documentation. The HP web page is not useful in this
regard, the sanner/imaging phone number was completely useless to me
as it only offered more standardized documentation like the
use-manual, and the sanner/imaging department has no email service
address.

I was at a loss. If anyone has a suggestion beyond "contacting HP" I
am curious to hear of it as I am a neophyte when involved in the
pestering of large companies.
