I've had problems getting my shiny new LJ1300 to work properly in linux. Did you install CUPS when you installed 7.3? If not, its on the CDs (but I don't know which). The latest version of cups is 3.0 (AFAIK), but it won't work with 7.3--you'd need to upgrade GLIBC which would break lots of other things. If your printers are supported directly in CUPS, you should be all set.
There is a utility that is installed with CUPS to switch between lprng and CUPS. If yo try to run the CUPS configuration program, it will tell you what to do. Another thing to try is www.hpoj.sourceforeg.net Take a look for your printer(s).
