Where can I find a printer driver for an HP LaserJet 6P. The printer itself is set up to also work with Macs (it has a local talk port). When I went to the HP web site to try to download the driver, it says that it is only available on CD, but if I try to order it, they have no more Mac OS CDs available. (In other words, even if I wanted to pay HP for the driver, I can't). I realize that I can shell out $100 for PowerPrint, but I don't really need the cable (since the LaserJet 6P is already set up to work with Macs) and I'd hate to pay $100 for a driver that I should be able to get for free (or a nominal cost for the CD) from HP.

Any help out there?

Thanks.

Asante makes a device called Ethernet-Local Talk Converter that will allow you to plug your local talk cable (mini DIN-8) into the device and then connect to your computer be ethernet. Its $100 though....
