Hey, sorry I posted this HCL entry with no details on what I did to get it working. I thought description just referred to the product description. Anyway, good to hear that someone else got it working.
I also encounter the Unsupported PCL error on occasion, and the problem is resolved by power-cycling the printer. I did a little research on the nature of this error, and it seems to be an HP problem. From what I read, a number of printers in the HP line also have the same problem, and it seems to make no difference what OS/drivers you use. There were the same bug reports on Linux, *BSD, OSX and Windows. If you don't mind power-cycling on occasion, it's a great little printer--fast and comparatively cheap to operate.
As far as drivers, check out

Since HP actually releases drivers for their products, setup was really a breeze. I installed foomatic and the hpijs driver, started the CUPS daemon, and configured it with CUPS web based admin program. It took about 2 minutes and everything was up and running without trouble.
I'm able to print from any program, including Mozilla and Firefox--just make sure to specify the appropriate printer and print command. Open Office was also a little tricky, requiring me to use the config program to specify a default printer. And of course GIMP took some work, but I've heard that installing gimpprint makes things alot easier.
All in all a good printer. The Unsupported PCL errors are a bit annoying, but that's easily fixed by power-cycling. And I really can't complain about the config. With about 10 minutes of googling, I had everything up and running with only minor headaches here and there.
