I was and wasn't still waiting.  My situation was such that my printer 
(Deskjet 6122) works great except for ink monitoring, etc, therefore my 
need was spectacularly non-critical.  In any event, thanks for the 
information.  I'm currently printing the common and FC-specific pages at 
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php and will undertake the 
upgrade later.
