The printer is attached to an IP print server (Hawking 1 port 10/100 IP 
print server) I can ping the server
and the Win_xp computers can print to the print server (using LPR).
Step by step:
 From the "K" -- system setting -- printers
set print system current used: "LPR/LPRng
Add printer -- add printer/class
"Add printer wizard" remote LPD queue
hosts "192.168.XXX.XXX "---- Queue "LP1"
Print model selection HP ----" LaserJet 4L"
select the driver, I have tried them all

Then "Unable to load Required drivers" something about the required 
drivers not loaded, and not the correct
permissions.
I have a printer attached to a Win_xp computer and served to the 
network, I get the same results when I try
to attach to this printer also.
I had the printer working on a Kubuntu 8.04 before the disk crash. The 
Kubuntu now is 8.04.1 desktop.
I have tried reloading, getting a newer copy of Kubuntu, and have had no 
luck after several reinstalls.
