My thanks to Tom Shemanske for a private reply and a copy of his .ppd file
(cups-o-matic/foomatic based?). I didn't have foomatic installed, but did
try one other thing which seems to have worked...
I unplugged the darned printer for 15 seconds (it has no on-off switch).
Now it prints like nothing happened, using a .ppd file off the HP CD (the
hp1200_7.ppd file).
I'm tempted to modify the printer via localhost:631, but...
Thanks for the response, Tom!
