printer drivers

[joel]

I think you'll be able to make it work by running CUPS. The HP LaserJet 4050 
is listed in the stp driver database, so stp should be able to handle your 
printer. Check out http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=stp 
for details.

At the Linux Hardware Database site (lhd.datapower.com), there is a comment 
that the print quality is good in Linux, auto-duplexing is supported, and the 
driver comes  pre-installed with Mandrake 8.0, so you might not even need to 
install anything special. For more info, see 
http://lhd.datapower.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?2847#drivers.
