A search on Yahoo led me to an article on ZDNet which ways this printer has a Localtalk connection. You can get a Localtalk to Ethernet adapter and hook it up via an Ethernet hub--it should work in either system.

thanks, but i am trying to get the direct usb connection working again. we had it working before, but she had to talk to the hp guys for an hour or so... guess i am just looking for a way where i dont have to call them.

thanks for the effort though.

Are there USB drivers for this combination in OS X? Ethernet is there and works in both systems.
