Ah, sorry about that... forgot to paste that:

wadesmart at wadesmart:~$ cat /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps | nc 
<printer_ip> 9100
bash: printer_ip: No such file or directory


When I installed the printer this time I did start from scratch.
The driver is:
HP LaserJet 4000 Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.2.10 - HPLIP 2.8.2
