Help with Printer Problem

I have an iMac running OS X10.2.8 and have added an HP Deskjet 5440 printer to the system. The printer works fine in the OS X environment, however, when I try to print checks in the Classic environment, the printer is not found and I receive an error message. How can I get this printer to be acknowledged in both environments?
Thank you.
 
HP doesn't have drivers for this printer for OS 9 (Classic).
You could try turning on Printer Sharing in the Sharing PreferencePane and see if it will print in Classic that way.
 
HP supports your printer for Windows and MacOS X. It does not support your printer under MacOS 9. You have two choices: (1) You may print your Classic documents to PostScript (or PDF using Adobe Acrobat Distiller or some other PDF print driver) and then open them in Preview for printing; or (2) You may upgrade to MacOS X 10.4 which seems to automatically handle Classic printing.
