Help with a printer

[JD]

I have been using the HP LaserJet 4L for many
years and it has been totally trouble free.
Recently, after an automatic update, the printer
prints garbage.
I have asked for help from openprinting in their
forum, and it seems this forum is not very active,
so no responses.
I have tried all of the PPD drivers that the printer
setup  gui provides for this printer. None of them
has helped. Printer does not have any problems
printing under windows xp, so that rules out printer
hardware issues.

The following print related packages are installed:
