the hp printer driver includes an init script in /etc/init.d/hplip it works but it is a redhat style script it uses 
daemon /command

instead of startproc killproc and so on...

so i wrote a new one with start/killproc startup/shutdown and output messages more in line with SuSE's style...
(* really i just gutted the cyrus init script and replaced with hplip stuff *)
