"see below".
I hope this helps;
I also should be able to dig up the URL for
that permafrost "archival" copy of it, on the
"lurker" archive on the PLUG website - but that
might have to wait for the repair of some thing that you
seemed to be saying was broken (I didn't understand
that part, completely...)

 I don't know.  I typically add printers via the CUPS interface ( in the browser goto localhost:631 ). 
 
When I added the packages below, I get a long listing of the printers.  Make sure you stop/stop CUPS after adding the packages.

I set up a printer today (test laptop).

I installed:

hplip
hplip-data
foomatic-filters-ppds

hpijs got installed as well, but I think it was a dependency on one of
those.

I'm not sure if all is needed or not, but it seems to work.

I use Debian at home and need to grab a few other packages to get my HP
OfficeJet working.  The other packages are hplip (and I think there is a
data package as well) and a few of the foomatic packages.  I typically

search for hplip in Synaptic and get the ones that look like it.  I
really should write it down one day.

After you install the hplip and foomatic, you will need to restart CUPS
to have it recognize the changes.

okay..... here is the problem, kaddprinterwizard on my system lists 4
printers: 4 differant laserjet printers. I tried to apt-get install a
new version but it responded that no package was available. How does

one update the printer list?

,I have a 832c not 932c and All I did was go to

And I just followed the gui setup. Works great in
pclinuxos. Yeah, diff os, but...


In config  > kde > perheriphals > printers    there
are two 932c's, one w/hjjwhatever and one straight.
Sooooo, linux does support it.

Probably in gnome config setup....not a gnome fan at

all.

I am using usb as a connection tho. Never did get
parallel port to work. Just fyi.

It works fine for what I do so far.

That is all I had to do. PDF's print funny, by using
the popup thingy and changing from saving the file to

print and telling it lpr in the command line at the
top of the box...at least in kDE version. ymmv.
