Just bought a portable HP DeskJet 340 printer hoping to persuade it to be friends with my wallstreet. In the absence of a parallel printer socket on the wallstreet, I tried the infrared port (the DeskJet was supplied with a neat "infrared adapter" that plugs into the centronix port. In OS9, and following HP instructions, I can at least get the infrared port of the mac to see the printer, then using AppleTalk by infrared it got very close to printing. But on OSX I could find no way to configure AppleTalk to connect over infrared in the network control panel, and there was no way in the "add printer" utility to add through an infrared port. Its a neat printer, and if anyone can suggest a way to make these things talk to each other I would much appreciate.
