I am having no problems with my HP LJ4 in Cups. I have the postscript L2 simm installed and maxed out memory for the rest - and use a JetDirect card to print to it. I only print from the big 500 sheet drawer, never tried one of the other sources. I do not know what your specific problem is. Are you connected via JetDirect or Parallel or other? I'm not a CUPS expert - just someone for whom it works OOB with FC2 and HP LJ4.
