Okay, if you've reset your printer, you might want to try another Linux
distribution. I've always had no problems setting up an HP 4215 printer
using Mandriva. You might try a Live CD or even install it, then try it.

In Mandriva's Control Center, you just click on the HP 4200 printer and
away it goes. It automatically installs quite a lot of various packages
but when it's done, the printer works. I doubt that Fedora does as much.

At least then you'll know it is not the printer, but the distro support.

HTH,
Robert
