It had been suggested off-list that a VirtualBox be created with a fixed 
size, rather than expandable, as it will run faster. This has been done.

Although now, 'hp-setup' will not launch from a terminal window - 
displaying a message that it cannot connect to a display, the HPLIP 
Toolbox (GUI) now launches...
