      Newbie stupidity.

      Centos 7, ghostscript 9.07 works fine with screen and pcl3 with no 
options, however the pcl3 is in black and white rather than color.  If we 
can fix that, we are done.

      However in continuing to try to use HPLIP the following results:

      Notice I have tried many different names in the Model line,
including the one taken from the supported HPLIP printers page, none of
which change the error message.  Perhaps some understanding of what the 
error is referring to would be useful.

     And some solid documentation on the GS/HPLIP interface, options etc.
