hi all
i recently bought a new IMAC with leopard OS X. had an old HP Laserjet 6p with my old PC that i bought a USB adapter for. when plugged into the new imac, it is recognized as a "USB 2.0 printer." i am selecting the driver as the HP Laserjet 6P - CUPS + Gutenprint driver from the driver option. however, when i try to print, it says "Printer is currently offline." can't figure out how to get my printer online. not a printer problem b/c i tried plugging it into my old PC laptop via parallel port and works fine. any help is appreciated, thanks!
