Thanks!

I can run a beta version of HP Connectivity kit on m Linux (Fedora) machine, but wonder whether the HP team is still working on it...

Yes, that's a big 'pro'. :-)

Your best bet with HP Connectivity Kit is a windows virtual machine.
It has not worked 100% for me, but if you install the virtualbox extension for USB it will work.

Having said that
Free/Plus42 are great and i definitely use them. Obviously a DM42 will be great as well if you want to buy one.

Other than that the other option is to have a windows system around for these devices that do not support Linux. I have an old windows installation that i use when nothing else works.
