On a W2K server farm, PS4, I loaded the 4200 pcl6 driver from HP. I
was seeing strange exception errors in IE6, so I trashed the driver on
all servers with that PDManager (from thethin.net) utility. Then I
downloaded the pcl5e driver from HP and all seems to be working better
today (knock on wood).
