Issue with HP 4215

[mylesg]

I need some assistance please.

I have an HP Officejet 4215 printer connected via USB to a PC (Win XP SP 2). I also have another PC and a Powerbook G4 connected to my wireless home network.

Documents print fine from both the the PCs (direct and networked) to the HP printer. My problem is with the Mac.

I read in these archives that to network the Officejet to a MAC that you need to install hpijs and ESP Ghostscript- which I did.

Once I installed, I was able to see and select the HP 4200 printer in the Mac printer set-up.

When click I print, it spools up my on my PC server to 64kb and then just stops. No matter how many times I try this or options I select, it only spools to 64kb and stops.

Please email to mpgartland@sbcglobal.net or respond here.

I deeply appreciate your suggestions.

I just purchased the HP 4215 and can't get my iBook to print to it through XP, tried everything from IP Prininting, workgroup, etc, just hangs with the beachball.

The driver provided by HP is for USB only. You need a CUPS driver for network/Windows printing. Install hpijs and ESP ghostscript from:
