It's an HP LJ P4515, and it works well now that it is setup. To find the Linux driver, I went from the printer's web page to the HP support site to the HPLIP site. The first time, my browser crashed. The second time, I didn't see anything obvious to download. Then I gave up and hacked the Mac PPD. Now, in hindsight, I see that hplip-3.10.6.tar.gz has a suitable PPD. I found the process much more difficult than it should be. Jim
