X11R4 xpr supports the HP Paintjet already, so you may have nothing to
worry about. If you have other printers to worry about though then
xpr on the Amiga, although it is part of a commercial package, might
be worth serious consideration since it supports a very large variety
of printers already.

xpr on the Amiga supports the HP paintjet in two different ways.
The standard -device pjet which uses a driver written by HP.
and via -device amiga which uses a driver written by Commodore-Amiga.
IMHBO the output using -device amiga is better than -device pjet.
