printer setup problems

[squareyes]

Hi all, 
am having problems with printer, worked OK
with Hoary. Setting it up with Breezy(HP laserjet 1100 )
now results in hundreds of pages feeding through,
only way to stop it is to turn off printer and re-boot.

The printer appears in the available list, but have been there before,
with printers appearing in the list, but not working. Why include them
if they don't work? Getting very frustrated.

Is there something I need to install??? getting fed up,
thought it was a miracle when it just worked (the first printer
ever to work after 3 years of never having a printer work with various
distro's,) with Hoary.
Downgraded to Hoary, with similar results, so have re-installed Breezy,
and am getting near to tearing my hair out.

Does anyone have any ideas?? what am I doing wrong,or do I have to
re-install Win 98 to be able to print reliably.

Any suggestions very greatfully received.
Take Care
Winton
