You already saw that: doesn't hp-setup call it? Added it to exhibit page too:

Copyright (c) 2001-7 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP
This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling 
the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper 
dependencies are
installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro 
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball 
has the proper
dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode 
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure 
that
