Binary package hint: hplip
Right now the only GUI i have found is hplip-gui but it is QT and wants to install KDE/QT packages. I know myself would rather keep a clean GTK system weather Xubuntu or Ubuntu.
If it is only going to be QT maybe the description can be changed to something that mentions QT. I know it is too late for Lucid but maybe target for Maverick?
Installing:
gnomefreak@Development:~$ install hplip-gui

I'm not sure why it is QT only.
It would be great to have GTK support. If any more info is needed I can provide it
