   No.
   The HP-4P requires a cartridge to print postscript files without
a converter.  I have a HP-4P.
   In LINUX I use ghostview (gv) to convert anything printed
(all normal LINUX programs output postscript data) into the kind of data 
the printer can use.  (the native printer language)
   For printer problems Google: " fix your printer "
