[X Newbies] Upgrading To Panther Tommorrow Tips? SUCCESS

[Norman Cohen]

You might want to try the HP Laserjet 6 driver for the 5110, as the 
5100 and the 5000 can by driven by this driver. This is one of the Gimp 
Print drivers. Alternatively, you can download the HPIJS drivers and 
install those. They include a driver for the HP Laserjet 5100 series. I 
am assuming that the 5110 is a Laserjet (you didn't state which line 
the 5110 is in - officejet, laserjet, deskjet, etc.). To be able to use 
these drivers, hold down the option key when selecting "Add" in 
Panther's Printer Setup Utility. Choose Advanced from the pop-up menu 
and then choose the type of printer (USB, SAMBA, IP, etc.). You might 
want to check Apple's help files and knowledge base as well as the Gimp 
Print and HPIJS sites for details on getting this to work.
