HP Photosmart P1100 connected via USB to a windows pc, on a 10/100 Ethernet
network. I have the Mac talking to the printer via samba.

I have the HP drivers installed on the G4 for the device, and it works if
plugged in locally. BUT when trying to add the network printer to the
Printer Center (via CUPS), I have no option for this printer model. I've
tried a couple of HP PS printers, but get garbage on the pages.

Any thoughts?


Thanks
Mike
