Not to argue with the above suggestion but does anyone know is HPLIP
at Sourceforge has a driver for the HP Color Laserjet 2600N (as it does
for the HP Color Laserjet 3500 which is not in Fedora 3 or 4)?
We had a power outage so I can't check this for myself.
The HP Color Laserjet 3500 is also not a Postscript printer.

So if HLIP has the 2600N driver you can use the CUPS web interface to
configure printing to it.
