That and the apt-get update, which is also recommended.
I don't know why you think that I would assume that you "tried that, of
course": nothing in your post suggested that you did. And I would avoid
wasting your and my time with more complicated stuff before being sure
that you tried the simple things first.
It is the collective mailing list wisdom of decades that the person
asking for help is in general best off by stating 4 things:
* What he aims to achieve
* What he did
* What the exacts results were
* What he tried to correct them and with what effects
This gives helpers the best basis to work from.
So, you tried "apt-get upgrade --fix-missing". What was the output? And
did you also "apt-get update" before that?

yest I did an apt-get update before that, and an apt-get clean before that,
since this may have been triggered by the disk fllling up, remeber?

Hmmm, if I try to access the http link to the deb (as given above) in
Firefox, or even try http://plabws1.meadwestvaco.com alone, I get a
simple "Firefox can't find the server at plabws1.meadwestvaco.com". If I
try to ping it, I get an unknown host. Guess the server is simply down.
I'd suggest to go to menu System -> Administration -> Software Sources
and choose a different server on the first tab of the window (download
from). The Software Sources window will resynchronize the package index
files (same as apt-get update). Then you can try the upgrade again, I
guess it will work.

That too, which complicated matters. But some other guy posted the same
problem last night, so I decided to google. Here is the bug report, as
of yet unresolved:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/300648. You can subscribe yourself
to the bug to be notified of changes, and you can change "This bug
doesn't affect me" to "affects me too" to let the developers know that
several (many) people are affected by this

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old

Is that an indication that the mirror is not ok, or I am doing something wrong.

You are using the ftp.egr.msu.edu mirror in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
It seems the mirror has gone offline and you may want to switch to
another one.
To do that, open your /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor as root, and
replace all instances of ftp.egr.msu.edu with another mirror, such as
ftp.debian.org.

Find out the correct name of the package you wish to install.
A good reference: http://packages.ubuntu.com/

In a previous mail you mentioned that you get errors with the command
sudo apt-get update
and as long as you have these errors the package list isn't updated.
Therefore you need to fix that problem first. Can you try another
mirror? The US mirror mentioned in your other mail may not be the best
one for your location. OTOH, you may have a bad proxy server
configuration according to what Alan Pope suggested.
