I didn't try a Linux machine, but it should be IPP compliant so why all the hassle on windows?
I was hacking the ePrint driver on the TouchPad so it would find and use non-HP IPP/PCL compliant printers. However, that work has stopped now that I'm sending my TouchPad back for refund.
FWIW, when I installed our new HP printer last month, I successfully connected it to three Windows machines (XP, Vista. Vista), and two Linux installations (Sabayon, Sabayon), and I can even print from my Pre, by emailing it to the printer. The printer is actually kinda nice, I just don't want it anymore.
