I've been to CUPS, Linuxprinting, Mandrake, LDP, local system docs, HP, 
and even a couple newsgroups :(  Nobody has any mention of the printer 
not talking to the hpijs driver.  I found some issues but none where the 
driver was just silent.  I'm beginning to think I'm the only one in the 
world having this problem.

Just an update, it's not a parport0 vs lp0 issue.  I double checked my 
startup logs and parport0 is being tied to /dev/lp0 as the device.

I'm going to try removing the lp module and see if that works.  I know 
that using VMWare and trying to attach LP1 to parport0 will not work if 
the lp module is active.  I'm grasping at straws but I may not have a 
rope to grab onto at this point.
