Sharing an HP all-in-one printer

I installed an HP all-in-one printer on my server, connected via USB. In Serveradmin / Print I said to share it via IPP, AppleTalk and LPR. Other Macs on my network can see it, but nobody can print to it. They all insist it's a "generic postscript" printer and any discussion fails miserably.

A mac client installed a similar HP printer. Everyone else can see it and print to it.

What the hey?
 
Got me. I can share mine out here without trouble and have setup print servers for publishing houses with good results. Do you have the appropriate drivers installed and such?

On the server? I have whatever came on the CD with the printer.
On the clients? Well ... As an experiment, I tried installing the HP software on one client. It refused because it couldn't locate a printer attached to the client.
I tried to "add" a new printer in the Printer Setup Utility. I can select HP, but my printer's model is not on the list. Is this what you're talking about? How do I update this list?
