  Hi, Henning.

  For currently supported MFPs and JetDirects, the peripheral is connected to
  a parallel port on an external JetDirect print server, which is connected to
  a LAN via ethernet or token ring. There are also internal card versions of
  JetDirects which plug into a special slot on a variety of HP printers,
  especially high-end laser printers.

  How does this sound, to keep it relatively generic?
  :model "HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C"
  :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
  :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
  :model "HP OfficeJet Pro 1170C/1175C"
  :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
  :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
  :model "HP OfficeJet R series/PSC500"
  :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
  :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
  :model "HP OfficeJet G series"
  :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
  :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
  :model "HP OfficeJet K series"
  :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
  :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
  :comment "partial support -- requires extra steps to scan successfully"

  Is it appropriate to put the URL after each model? Running sane-desc.el
  on this seems to produce reasonable output, where each OfficeJet model can
  be clicked through to the OfficeJet Linux driver project page.
