That sounds like some sort of samba issue.

You could try the Pre-Render PostScript option, or try another driver
from the drop-down list.

The HPLIP RPM package set is the latest version of the software from
SourceForge.  It is in updates-testing because I'd like it to get more

that the Fedora Core 5 test releases will give it more thorough
testing.
