I'm running under MacOS 9.2.2, and this was my past experience with such 
a situation:

At a former workplace (where my PowerBook was the only Mac), the company 
computer guru gave me an IP address for the HP (4000 or 4050 series in my 
case), and I downloaded the printer description files (aka drivers to go 
with LaserWriter 8) from HP's website. After installing the printer 
descriptions and running the HP LaserJet Utility to create a Desktop 
Printer, I believe that was it. But once I had trouble getting the 
printer to work, and the guru said to reset the printer (off... on...), 
and after I did that it worked again. I think the vast majority of the 
time, the setup worked fine. It puzzled me at first that the printer 
didn't show up (I think it didn't show *any* AppleTalk zones), but with 
the LaserWriter 8/desktop printer/IP setup up and running, it worked. In 
fact, I regularly used Location Manager to switch to Ethernet and the HP 
printer in the morning when I got to work, and then when I got back home, 
switched back to dial-up and my Epson 740.

The key might be getting on the good side of your IT person to see which 
HP drivers you might need to download, and ensuring that you have the 
correct IP address(es) for the printer(s).

Hope that gives your something to start with.

You may need to load a generic laserjet driver for that printer. Look 
for available drivers/extensions/whatever in the chooser menu, and play 
with it to find the one that works.

Network printing

[Jim Katz]

Help!  I am trying to get my Ti-400 system 9.2 laptop to print at the
office, whose staff is very PC oriented and can't seem to make it work. I
get on the net okay and can see all the networked printers in the chooser,
but nothing seems to work.  I would be printing to an IP address, they tell
me. An HP 1200 printer.  Any ideas?

network printing for Wallstreet and old Cannon printer?

[Andrew]

I am continuing to search for a network printing solution for my
Wallstreet and old Cannon printers. This looks promising
<http://www.strydent.com/strydent-software-products/powerprint-networks.html>
They mention a list price of $250 but they seem to go for less than half
that on E-bay.
Any comments?
