Nossir.  I meant "Compatible with and acceptable to the access frontends 
of high-security sites produced by the same people that made the 
Obamacare website the success it is; and their Japanese counterparts at 
Kantei.  And, all of the consultants who work so well together to 
produce such uniform, compatible code."

Installing from the .debs produced a regular, repeatable error caused by 
the inability to download and install the required version of cupsys 
that installing from the tarball fixed.  HPLIP is actually one of the 
best programmed and best documented packages in all of Linuxdom.  And 
their support is excellent.  I filed a request for assistance with this 
issue and they acknowledged that they were aware of the  problem and had 
formulated some workarounds.  I'm going to be one of their crash test 
dummies just as soon as I mirror this installation to another HDD so I 
have one disposable version.
