hpliplite official version is 3.9.8 (for puppy 4.xx)
hplip latest version is 3.9.2
hpliplite packages are "lite" versions the Hewlett-Packard's Linux Imaging and Printing software HPLIP.
They allow Printing and also Scanning (for HP PSC models, for instance).
Other hplip utilities are NOT included (hp-toolbox, hp-setup, fax,...).
The "lite" versions are not bloated as the full ones (Version 3.9.8 is only 4.5 MB, expanding to about 10MB when installed).
They do not require python and other big packages.
For this reason, hpliplite packages are recommended for puppy.
