How did you get libjpeg to work? I built both libjpeg-6A and 6B; neither satified the need for libjpeg support when configuring the driver (HPLIP.9.10). This is one needy driver! Maybe I should just FTP it over to a support group (for overly dependent drivers).  

I love the tutorial at http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/step2/debian.html

One command line should do everything: # apt-get install python-dev libsnmp5-dev libcupsys2-dev python-qt3 lsb libusb-dev

Not with DSL, that's for sure.

I did try building HPLIP but ran into too many dependencies.  For my printer I only required the HPIJS driver, which if I understand it correctly is one component of HPLIP.  I had some trouble finding the source for HPIJS because every time I clicked on the hpijs link at linuxprinting.org they only point to HPLIP.  Don't know if that can help you but if it can here is the link.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16846

Again my understanding is that HPLIP provides a broader set of capabilities for all-in-one printers and the HPIJS driver is specificly for printing.

I had a wave of hope there....

Trying to configure HPIJS still gets me the same error, "Can't find libjpeg support", which prevents generating the MAKE file.

jpeters - I sent you email with an attachment containing the driver and some other files.  Did you get it?  When I get a chance I will look at what I did for the libjpeg build.  It is on a different machine which is in use by someone else.

I attempted to load your dsl file using the myDsl button, and did not find that it made any difference in recognizing my printer (checked with lpinfo -v).

Note:  The printer driver might work if I had a parallel port (it's listed).  The problem is no device is listed on the USB port (I'm using a Dell laptop).
