Low-end HP ink-jets are problematic since the mechanism is in the cartridge.
After experimenting with hplip setup parameters to try to fix some color
problems, I cannot get back to the former, default settings. While the GUI
shows everything as default values, I am in some strange printing mode.

Thank you Andrew J. Perrin.
After your last message, I ran dpkg -l and found that gs had not been
installed when I thought it was. I reran the installation. Both Star
Office and Netscape are now printing.
That seems odd - generally gs-aladdin is newer than gs. In any case,

Response to :
Looks like you don't have ghostscript installed (or at least installed

I forgot to answer one question of the following;
What happens when you try to print? Anything?
Is there anything in /var/log/lp-acct, /var/log/lp-errs, or

Have you tried using magicfilter to handle printing?
(I haven't used Opera, but Netscape and SO both print fine for me.
Response to questions:
/var/log/lp-acct is empty.
/var/log/lp-errs has the following repeated about 40 times.
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/gs: No such file or directory
/var/log/lpr.log has the following with many repeats with changed lpd.

You need to start up the printer daemon. Only a priveleged user can do
this so try:
$su
<(enter your root password)>
#lpd
#exit
Then try and print the file again. Normally, you should get the lpd
daemon started automatically at start-up, so you may well get an erro
