See http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki....ibility
You can use `dpkg -i file.deb` if you aren't familiar with apt.

Right, I got it all wrong... it's a .run file which I used with the "sh" command...but then it dies saying "command not found:python". So I went and did apt-get -f install, apt-get update, got the python dsl extension and tried again...still came up the same...any ideas?

With CUPS, how do I use it to set up the printer? There's stuff in the admin like name, location etc...I've no idea how to fill these out...

oh yeah, the HPLIP set-up instructions page says that it handles scanning too...does that mean just printers with scanners built in...or separate scanners too? *crosses-fingers*

It's probably easier to use the .deb or manually install the it than to fiddle around with python....

Check a doc/guide, I'm pretty sure any would do.

This http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/combined.html seems to say it doesn't support it.
