hplip port update to version 2.8.5

[Manish Jain]

Hi,

I am about to buy a new printer and my retailer strongly recommends HP's 
D1560 printer (USB). I am running ghostscript8-8.62_5 under FreeBSD 7.1 
and I can't see this model listed anywhere in apsfilter. So I checked up 
the hplip site. The site says that the D1560 is indeed supported, but it 
also says that the minimum version of hplip required for this is 2.8.5, 
while the latest port available is 2.8.2.

Please check out 
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_d1500_series.html

The site actually lists hplip version 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement 
for the entire D15XX series, and a whole lot of other deskjet printers.

Should I wait for a port update or do you think version 2.8.2 is capable 
of handling the printer ?
