    For currently supported MFPs and JetDirects, the peripheral is connected to
    a parallel port on an external JetDirect print server, which is connected to
    a LAN via ethernet or token ring. There are also internal card versions of
    JetDirects which plug into a special slot on a variety of HP printers,
    especially high-end laser printers.

    How does this sound, to keep it relatively generic?
    :model "HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C"
    :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
    :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
    :model "HP OfficeJet Pro 1170C/1175C"
    :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
    :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
    :model "HP OfficeJet R series/PSC500"
    :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
    :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
    :model "HP OfficeJet G series"
    :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
    :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
    :model "HP OfficeJet K series"
    :interface "Parport(ECP) JetDirect"
    :url "http://hpoj.sourceforge.net"
    :comment "partial support -- requires extra steps to scan successfully"

    Is it appropriate to put the URL after each model? Running sane-desc.el
    on this seems to produce reasonable output, where each OfficeJet model can
    be clicked through to the OfficeJet Linux driver project page.
