You are flat wrong with your last line. HP FULLY support Linux.

Yes through TERMIAL SESSION I can ping 192.168.1.66
and I can even review the ink level in all 4 cartiages
the printer stats say connected. but I never see or hear the printer
taking any action.

I hope you are absolutely RIGHT, but HP Tech Support said that only supported WINDOWS and MAC. I nedd any help I can get and I did not mean to offend anyone. Sorry!

If I use Windows Printer via SAMBA all is fine, but that requires my desktop to be up in order to print from my laptop which is Ubuntu 10.04. I would like to forget the desktop and go to the printer via wireless connect using my gateway

Grab the latest HPLIP from the site and install it, may help. You'll need to chmod it to make it executable and run it as user (not sudo), may help

I only deleted the printer and then used the ip and reinstalled it on my network. It took less than a minute !
