I feel stupid asking this question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I have a Laserjet 1500 with a jetdirect 175x external print server. I am trying to print from a 10.2.8 system and just can't seem to find the problem. When I setup IP printing in the print center, it doesn't give me errors but also does not print. The printer does not show up under Appletalk, even though it is active and can be printed to through AT from a 9.2 machine. I have installed gimp-print and the ghostscript files but those do not seem to do anything. The part that confuses me the most is that I can't find jetdirect software for OS X. I have seen screen shots allowing access to Jetdirects through the print center... Where is this software? I have searched google and HPs site... No help. Anyone?

Go to the drivers section of HP's site, and grab the OS X drivers. You can then select JetDirect as the protocol in IP Printing. Did this just today at work.
