It is at least with the old usb stack i.e. on 7.x and earlier, since the
old stack doesn't support doing direct ugen-like io on non-ugen devices
which hplip needs.  The new stack does however as I was just told, so
chances are this will work on head.  (well, unless there is still code
missing in hplip, testing this here is difficult as I said.)
