Again, I can print to the 1012 fine, except that CUPS sometimes dies and
refuses to restart, and I have to purge and reinstall it. USB printer
support is there and works and it's fine.

Documentation is one of the well-known weaknesses of Linux, but
that is another story.
A "bog-standard Laserjet" is, IMHO, a pri

According to that bug report, you have a bog-standard LaserJet. So
why not install lprng and magicfilter? First remove as many
