Hi squareyes, I am wondering if you do have a hardware problem. I have
been using my HP Laserjet 4Plus for years with a number of different
distros without any problems -- almost like plug and play. You say you
haven't been able to print a single page using any distro in several
years. Are we talking about the same hardware?
