Many supported only GDI printing which naturally is best supported on

Yeah, but I bought an *HP* laserjet, because I thought everyone supported them
well.
Turns out I probably have the only orphaned HP LJ model.
I have an HP LJ 4000N and whilst it is perfectly functional, printing
systems have decided it is too old to work with properly -- this is a
Windows, Linux and Mac OS X problem. Backward compatibility is a
three-edged sword.
hplip on Linux should support it when connected via Parallel Port (but,
according to a maybe outdated list, not USB or Network/Jetdirect). See also
