Re: HP officejet 5740 drivers needed
Shep, I think we lost the OP. The printer requires an minimum of hplip=3.14.10, jessie has 3.14.6, and he seemed unwilling to use the backports repository or follow rather simple instructions. Some people are like that.

IMHO, the problem with click n configure interfaces is that they are complex and when they fail are difficult to trouble shoot. Searching the internet and reading documentation become requisite.
For basic printing, the OP had 4 options in Debian:
1) HPLIP
2) CUPS + manual configuration
3) LPRng + hpijs or gutenprint PCL-900
4 LPR + hpijs or gutenprint PCL-900
I use OpenBSD/NetBSD - the base LPR print spooler is elegantly simple.
