Oh, and I forgot to add, both of these printers are networked (JetDirect), max memory, 2 different paper inputs (I too really only use the paper drawer) and have a duplex unit on them as well.  I guess I just got exited seeing someone else having problems, I thought it was just me (of course it probably really is).

With FC1 my HP Color LaserJet 4500 and 4550 just worked right out of the box, nothing to really do.  In FC2 so far all I get is blank pages when I try to print from any application.  Since I know it worked in FC1, what happened here?

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.
