Okay, that's a little weird.
Try starting your PC in Windows command prompt mode. Make sure that your path is
right (that isn't always the case) by using "path=%path%;\windows\command" (all one
string). Type "edit" to start your editor, and put some gibberish in the buffer.
Alt+F, P should print the buffer. If your HP has a *real* power button (I'm not sure
if yours does or not) and is on, you *should* get output. If all of this works, you
can print in Linux.
Okay, so maybe GhostScript can't make your powerhouse printer do anything fancy
(yet), but you can still set up a generic text printer using the standard age-old "cat
$file >> /dev/prn" as they did in the old days. I seem to remember a company that had
a commercial implementation of GS that had a much broader range of devices. Does
anyone else know who I'm talking about?
Good luck!
