Oh, and what exactly is a "systemtray?" All of a sudden, for the past
year or so, the HP p1102w Pro has been eliciting an HPLIP error message
saying that there is no "systemtray" and so it was stopping. I have no
idea what a systemtray is. I obviously didn't lose a systemtray that was
once there--all is like new in my old printer. Windows' driver makes no
complaint about a systemtray but HPLIP in Linux is obsessed by it and
the danger caused by it being missing. I don't want to be forced to go
into Windows in order to print something. I have used Linux since 1997
and I don't want to have Linux suddenly fail to support my perfectly
fine older HP printer that has been working fine under Linux for years.

Because I'm annoyed at how much effort I've put into making this
perfectly fine printer work with the latest versions of Linux and HPLIP
I've considered buying another inexpensive printer but I'm not sure how
well that will work out in Linux.
