Hello all,

I have an HP LJ 4000N hooked up to my machine via an old parallel
port. A few days ago, this stopped working. I suspected that a kernel or 
udev problem was the cause. I went to system-config-printer and deleted 
the printer; then, I attempted to bring it back. Isee several printers on 
our building network, but no options for parallel. Is there something else 
I should be choosing in the setup menus to make it work? For the Device 
URI, I have tried Socket://:9100, serial ports 1-3 (incase it got 
confused)...and several others. I give up. Any ideas?
