[X4U] HP LaserJet 4550

[Neil Laubenthal]

If it's got an HP Jet Direct card in it for ethernet it should be a  
pretty easy install. It's a PostScript printer IIRC so the  
Laserwriter driver should work fine with it . . . all he needs to do  
is grab the ppd file off of the old machine if Tiger doesn't have one  
for it.
