Many times.  I switched the drivers around for a while and got two
pages to print with the HL 2040 driver, but then it also quit working.
I'm now using the hpijs-pcl5e driver and that held up until I got
printed what I needed.

I'll have to see if that still works when I get a chance, but I'm
expecting an HP printer tomorrow that I'm hoping will solve the
problem altogether.  I've had a lot of problems with the HL 2240,
which was a surprise since my 2140 worked beautifully until it died.

Thanks.
