[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1786414, member: 175845"] Also strange is all the different and often conflicting info out on the 'net regarding connecting and setting up that printer, and Apple's attitude doesn't seem very helpful or supportive. And why does HP not even have drivers listed for it for use with HS etc. And in some places they even stated that it won't normally work for wireless use and a lot of support seems almost useless. I've still got our HP 4ML Laserjet that works when I turn on the old G5 iMac running 10.5.8 as that Mac serial connected printer needs AppleTalk to work. Actually it works amazingly well and very easy on toner but a bit slow considering all the router and AsanteTalk adapters it has to go through. And oh yes, I used the [B]HandyPrint app[/B] to provide wireless/airprint access that worked amazingly well and better than that printopedia app thing which was surprising. PS: In case it helps the OP, one thing I discovered to get our old printer working throughout our LAN network and for wireless use was the [I][B]printer_name[/B][/I] could [I][B]NOT[/B][/I] contain any spaces that Apple's setup kept insisting on doing in the printer network setup. i.e.: The [I]HP_Laser_Jet_p1102w[/I] printer_name would work but [I]HP Laser Jet p1102w[/I] name would NOT. One thing I have noticed when setting up some Bonjour type printing is one must work very slowly and give everything some time to try and get an established connection. :Smirk: Good luck and patience may bring some reward.
