I just upgraded to a new G4 (sweet machine) from a 7600 and how can I use my HP LaserJet? What are my options. I can't find much information other than Dayna EtherPrint and then not much on that.

Any help would be helpful. Links or what other people have done.

I also have a Laserjet 6MP. The easiest setup is to get a cheap print server that supports Appletalk. I got the PN7117P from Hawking Technology
http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/pn7117p.htm

It costs about $70. After that my Pismo sees the LaserJet as a Postscript printer. My only complaint is that it fits kinda weird on the printer because of how the Laserjet houses the parralel port.
respect mah athoritah!

I use an AsanteTalk device to connect it via ethernet. It's totally simple to set up, fast and reliable. Also, if you have other computers around, you can share it over a hub or router.
