Maybe I will download it, I have seen the other message about HP not being 
supported but I am willing to try anything to get it working :) I had to put a 
HD with Windows into a spare box to use it and I cannot see why it won't work 
with Linux. I did try to hppsmtools but that failed to communicate with the 
camera.

For developers, if I can get a port sniffer for Windows and sniff the in/out to 
the camera would this be of any help.
