I'm not sure what you mean with "LaserJet 4P is supported directly by
Foomatic".

in [system-config-printer]

+ When I want to choose the printer by vendor (HP) I only get the
following offers:

 HP LaserJet 4P - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 Simplified [en]
 HP LaserJet 4P - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 [en]
 HP LaserJet 4P Foomatic/lj4dith [en]
 HP LaserJet 4P Foomatic/ljet4 [en]

The "CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 Simplified [en]" is out of range and gives poor 
quality up to failures with ps- or pdf-files.
The rest does not function at all.

+ Search driver to download gives no result für "HP LaserJet 4P".

+ At the end I've no choice for quite good printing whit my printer.

+ In the past ubuntu autodetects the printer and gave him the "hpijs"
driver which ist part of the "HPLIP" project. But it seams thet they had
cancelled the support for my printer for no reason.

In short: I want only to get it back to work, like the past four years.

Perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong whith the Installation.
In the past it was very easy and automagically ;-)
