I fully agree with the introductory description.
The HP Laserjet 4 Plus/4M Plus are literally rock solid printers.
I used to play around with various distributions over the time and Iīve used
my Laserjet 4 Plus with SuSE 5.3, Redhat 7.something, Mandrake 8.2/9.0,
Debian 2.2 and 3.0.
With lpd, the printer was one of the first things I always got to work.
Configuration with CUPS is a snap, but I donīt know about the Gimpprint drivers,
as I only use the printer for text output.
Another huge plus is that the printer has four sockets for PS/2 EDO RAM,
so if you have some of these lying around, you can upgrade the printers
memory up to 32 MB.
Something that I came across once is the error message no. 52.
The handbook says something like "An internal error has occured.
Please switch off for a few minutes and retry. If the problem still
exists, please contact HP support".
It took me a while to find the error, but I resolved it myself:
The filament of the halogen lamp used for heating inside the fixation
unit was broken. I got a replacement part for around 20 USD and put
it in myself, that saved me some 300 bucks repair service bills...
If you need a cheap, reliable laser printer, get one of these if you can.
