The model of printer is important info, because not all drivers work for Windows Printing. What printer?

BlakeWilleford - Jul 21, 2005 - 5:58 pm

It is an HP PCS 2110 All-IN-ONE. The printer is attached to my PC running windows XP Pro, and it works just fine. I am just trying to add it to the print center on my mac, so I can print to it from my mac.

Blake,
The HP-provided driver for OS X doesn't work over a network, so you need to install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/

Then, follow this guide (the second one is if you have problems):

PS - for the Advanced methods in Tiger, you hold option key when clicking More Printers.
