+> Thank you. I am looking at this tonight.
+
+They are quite basic instructions on the old wiki, the new improved wiki 
+is being worked on now.
+
+In short, you need to be able to update from the Core Updates Testing 
+media which is not generally desirable so is disabled by default. To be 
+able to select Core Updates Testing as an update media you need to use 
+"expert" mode.
+
+To do so, as root, use: drakrpm-edit-media --expert
+
+You can then place a tick in the Updates and Enable columns for Core 
+Updates Testing.
+
+You might get an error to do with a new msec/sectool at the moment when 
+you go to update, you can safely ignore it.  Don't update with 
+everything from testing, just update the relevant hplip packages it offers.
+
+When you have updated them, remember to disable the Core Updates Testing 
+media.
+
+Hope that helps!
