I've used this printer (well, the HP Laserjet 4000, anyway) with CUPS under linux from various machines with no problems, blank pages or otherwise.. Note I've used it in a networked setting (HP JetDirect I believe is the protocol). Simply get hold of the HP 4000 PPD file (the debian package hp-ppd contains it I believe), and then as per the instructions on the CUPS documentation do /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet -E -v socket://11.22.33.44 -m laserjet.ppd ENTER where you replace 11.22.33.44 by the appropriate IP address of the printer, and laserjet.ppd by the appropriate ppd file, with the full path name if necessary. (see the "Software Administrators Manual", specifically http://cups.org/sam.html#4_2_1 ) Easy as falling off a log, and more pleasant :-) I suggest you not bother with Foomatic, which serves no purpose for postscript printers which have ppd files available.
