Yes, but I would have first liked to have the OSx properly updated. A quick summary suggested it needed (on dialup) maybe 5 hours of downloading.
I will bring that Cups binary on a CD. Also get a latest HP printer driver from HP web site just in case that HP driver for Mac was problematic. But again, I do all this because I only get about two hours - and the two computers are in different rooms. Also I will not be attempting this maybe after summer is over. For now, I am still in data collection mode.
jhogeterp - did you do this with Cups - or just use what exists in OSX? Did you upgrade the OSX software and then fully reboot - and suddenly it started working?
Anyway, I am still confused why a Mac, talking to Windows XP on SMB (network), saw that HP printer, had HP drivers, and still tried to print Postscript to that HP printer. TV commercials says those two guys talk to one another - like North Korea and George Jr?
Maybe when jhogeterp rebooted, the computer did a new browser reelection - and voted in a new OSX? Sounds too political.
Just wish I had a local setup to learn with. But then I do this stuff too infrequently to justify the hardware.
