You don't need one. It works right out of the box. Now if you are asking
for software on how to control the _FEATURES_ of this printer, then let be
told that this is an APPLICATION LEVEL task. Just use the IFHP software
that accompanies LPRng. It allows you to control all the features that
the HP Printer Control Language offers: duplex/non-duplex, resolution
switching, reading the page counter etc...

If you want to use the IEEE parallel port features (like DMA transfers,
printer status codes etc.) then you should possibly upgrade to the latest
development kernel (not recommended for production!!!) but you really don't
need this to operate the printer, it should work fine with SPP
