have not run into it...the drivers just worked on the SUSE desktop distros since the ~9.1 days. If you only have a HP Laserjet option...I would look for a LJ3 or 4 option since that seems to be fairly universal for pcl printing.
If the job is getting to the queue...I'd look at the job to see how it's formatted - if it's going into the bit bucket - you may need to find the broken "link". If garbage is coming out on the printer - doesn't sound like the case- then wrong driver or setttings.
