Ugly? I think it's quite fetching, really. Are you sure you're a real
computer nerd?
I have an HP LaserJet 3015 that works with everything in my gnome DE,
but IIRC I struggled until I discovered the net-print/hplip package,
which is the opensource driver supplied by HP. It does everything
including faxing, printing, and high-res color scanning all from my
HP multi-function printer.
Does your dad's machine have that package installed and configured?
