As soon as I did "sudo hp-firmware -i", the printer roared into action. Here is the output from that command:

So, now that I did that, the printer is working just fine, and printing normally. Thank you!!!

But what a big job! I'm going to have to do this again on two or three other Jaunty computers. Will I have to go through the same thing all over again? or is there a better way?
