For anybody that's interested, I have used a HP OfficeJet 4110 for two
years on Linux using hpoj with no problems (apart from the initial
setup, due to several factors which aren't the case now). The computer
was running Gentoo, but I am migrating that computer to Debian Sarge
today and do not expect any problems.
Given that you are having problems with USB and that the OfficeJet 4110
is connected via USB perhaps if you fix one the other will come right.
In any case you may want to check out the driver: hpoj and hpijs.
http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/
OfficeJet4110 support has been part of hpoj but has now moved into the
hpijs package (I am not sure how Debian have packaged the drivers as
yet). The Linux printing website (www.linuxprinting.org) is also full of
useful information.
In general, as far as I know HP have the best (only?) Linux support for
multi-function devices. (and for anybody who wants support from
companies, they do appreciate a note of thanks, it shows them both that
their time isn't wasted and is often the only way they can gather
statistics on usage).
HTH.
