[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1209583, member: 182015"] Because that printer uses the HP PCL page description language, it is 100% compatible with OS X, even if HP didn't offer a specific driver!!! But, I know the driver is in 10.6, because it is listed here: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP]Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software[/url] The printer was made before "bonjour," so you must know the IP address and enter it in the add printer dialog. If the printer's IP is outside the local subnet, you need to set a correct IP address in it. Try pressing the Go and Cancel buttons on the printer simultaneously to get a config page printout. Let me know what the IP address is, and what your computer's is. (giving out local-only IP addresses is OK, because your router prevents anyone outside your local network from getting in. Local-only IP addresses usually start with 192.168.x or 10.0.x) [/QUOTE]
