Well, I looked around. Didn't find much.

Have you looked in the CUPS error log located, I think, at

/var/log/cups/error_log

?

Good luck and welcome to Macosx.com!

I have achieved partial success by selecting the Gimp-Print 5.0.0 beta2 Photosmart P1100 to work with the 1215. That was my default work-around on the old G3 using OS 10.3.9.

It will print documents, but I'm not sure how many features of the printer I'll be missing out on.

Still not sure what "status 2" means.

Maybe there is a way to get the 1215 driver from the G3 (which works) to the G5??
