Agreed. Ubuntu sees my Deskjet D1400 on my main machine and prints but on the 2008 machine it crashes on loading. Going to try safe graphics option.

the graphics situation seems rectifiable...... The printer too if you get a different one but as you said, you have carts that need using up

Ubuntu works on the 2008 machine in Safe Graphics Option but doesn't see any printers.

I may have found a solution. Linux Mint 64 bit. It has a Deskjet 710C driver and is stable. After fiddling most of the night trying to get it to play nice with my Win 10 installations and fiddling with grub to get multi boot working. It also has the latest Nvidia drivers for my GT710. The TDR in Win 10 32 bit, adjustments to 60 seconds only gives me a black screen for 60 seconds when I was doing a file copy explorer crashed and black screen for 60 seconds. TDR is now back to 2 seconds.

Now playing with Zorin 16.3 Lite. It is stable, doesn't blackscreen, I can RDP into it using nomachine from my Win 11 box and the printer works with Libre Office. It seems more polished than Mint with a couple things in Mint not working, they work in Zorin.
