Although HPIJS was originally targeted for Linux, it has been ported to Mac OS X (http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/). HPIJS supports over 200 Hewlett-Packard printer models.

For example, the only Gimp-Print driver we found for the Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet d135 was the HP New DeskJet Series CUPS v1.1 that came with Mac OS X Panther. It supports neither duplex printing nor the higher resolutions that this printer model is capable of. However, the HPIJS OfficeJet D135 ...
