Thanks for the advice. I used the ljet4l filter and it seemed to have done the trick. I guess I will have to wait for the filter for the 1100 filter to get release at a later date to have it be more specific for my exact printer. I wish I knew what I was doing so I can write one myself and contribute it to debian development. Well, after about 3 weeks of hard work and maybe 40 to 50 install of Linux (I kept switching back and forth between Debian and Red Hat) I think I have finally gotten the hang of things. Thanks to everyone on the group that have answered all of my questions. Oh, and I definitely think Debian is a great Distros because of the flexibility that it presents (lots of packages). Config are simple once you figure it out.
