Printer is set up, prints its reports. I downloaded the new firmware and drivers from HP. My Intel Mac direct connects via USB and it sees the printer and allows me to register with Printer Setup Utility. But when I go to print, I get the proper menu showing the HP 2605, I hit print, I hear that nice "twing!" on the mac but the HP itself just sits there. The printer window shows either NOTHING, or sometimes I get a message like process "hppostprocessing" stopped, etc...

I intend to ether this to my Apple Extreme, but first I'd like to see a direct connection actually print...

Any ideas?

I moved the printer to ether, fixed permissions (postprocessing was rw-rw-r-- and should have been rw-rw-r-x <-- fixed now

but now the ether reads "busy, will retry in 30 seconds" and it never works

sooooo, back to USB, or can we get this working?

hope to hear from someone with a great idea...
