I've tried a bunch of things: going to LPRng, various printcaps as advised by various books and websites, http://www.linuxprinting.org, ... Print spooling is *still* sick: Part of the first page, then nada!
BTW, how does one return ALL of the print queues and status messages, et alia, back into virgins? Once I get an error status, it's there until I disclose a different error...
Thanks for your help!!
(especially if it works!)

As you showed you didn't see that last post as much help I'm going to be *very* specific here; Hope it's not too irritating
First, make sure you have the right printer driver;
You're very lucky, it's allready packaged, take a look at: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=hpijs
So you only have to say,
apt-get install hpijs
For cups, ESP ghostview is recommended; If you're using stable, download the source yourself, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18073
and compile; otherwise, just hit
apt-get install gs-esp
Now *follow* that great guide at http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html
All additional files you might need are probably here: http://linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs&fromprinter=HP-DeskJet_882C
Printing isn't the easiest part to get working in Linux - but your printer is well supported, I'm happily using the same driver with cups for another hp printer.
HTH,
Joris
