Switching printers off and on is definitely not the linux way. I have a HP 930 C which I suppose is very close to Dan's 932 C. I'll admit that initially I had some problems (in 9.0 that is - waiting for my pre-ordered 9.1 to arrive) with this printer. However, visiting http://www.linuxprinting.org solved those. Please give some additional information : What printing system ? ( I prefer CUPS) What do you use for configuration ( printerdrake - webmin)? Is this an Open Office problem only ? Did you download the hpijs driver form HP ? Printers are notoriously tricky, but HP seems dedicated to linux, so eventually your 932 C will work OK, I'm sure. And Dan : don't apologize for being a newbie. We all are. And will forever be. And we're proud of it.
