I have the same problem as sallie...I see the four steps to follow, but I don't know where to find/run the installer....I have the IP Addy(static) of the printer and the correct driver from HP....How do I get the Mac to see the printer?

here's the right way...

*Go to the "Chooser"
*select the "LaserWriter 8" icon
*if AppleTalk is active, the TCP/IP printers will show up at the right.
*select the printer you wish to use
*you can specify PPD (drivers) for the printer if you wish, they may have to be downloaded first.
