  Hi,

  On Linux package there is two flavors of PPD: plain PostScript 
and that which uses HPLIP library. If your OfficeJet supports 
PostScript, just the correct PPD will do the trick. If not, you'll
prabably need the HPLIP package provided by Paul Smedley.
  At this time I am just waiting for the latest release of HPLIP,
since I was not able to make it run with my printer... in the mean
time, I am using the PostScript version, since my printer supports
PostScript v3.

  Regards,

  Daniel Caetano
