I have an HP855C and it runs reasonably well using the 'cdeskjet'
GS driver - b/w works very well but the colour is well below what the
printer is capable of - gets fairly close to 6ppm for bw though.

Tried using some of the later GS HP drivers / 600dpi bw resolution
but this was too slow to be useful.
