I have my HP LaserJet 4L runing without problems. If you are susing cups you can configure it opening a navigator (konqueror, netscape, mozilla, opera) and put as url: localhost:631; you will be able to configure, delete add printers and so one.
In my case 8.1 and 8.2 both detected my two printers: Epson Stylus Color 760 conected to usb and the HPLaserJEt 4L in a parallel port, but the second wasn't configured; nevertheless I could easily select the driver and runed fine in both Mandrake distributions. Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
