I would love to try that solution, but my machine decided to roll over

Once I get new hardware, I will give that advice a shot.

Thanks

> The Windows system appears to be sending raw print data, which might not be usable for the OfficeJet - try using a driver served up by the CUPS server so that HPLIP does the printing on your CUPS server.

I can also print a basic text document from a shell if I login and use the lpr command so I believe I have the basics of the setup working.
