OK, I kinda'gave up on the LinkSys print server route so I connected my HP 1220c via USB to my iMac. I am able to print but the quality seems to be marginal at best. Going to HP's web site, they tell you that the latest driver for this printer was released last Fall, and that it's embedded in Leopard. When I try to "install" the printer or check it... it seems to insist on using the Gutenprint driver rather than a full-blown HP driver that would allow me to select print quality, paper size, paper quality and a million other things.
Should I remove gutenprint from my system or is there a way to "find" the driver I need in the OS? And nope... HP will not let me manually download the mac driver. The process of adding a printer/driver should be a little more automated, but I'm a noobie so maybe I'm missing something?
