Hello. I have a client with a mac running os 9.1. I've been trying to set her up on a networked HP color laserjet 4050. I've tried removing and reinstalling the drivers and reloading the entire OS. I've also tried OSX on the machine (which gives the same problem, and the user prefers 0S9). When she prints to that printer, (which is setup direct IP (lpr)), it will print many pages of nonesense. Our network does not support appletalk. The other people in that department have PCs. any ideas? Is there anything else I can try? Thank you!

What drivers are you using? The HP ones, or the ones built into the OS?

Yeah, thought you might be. Ditch 'em and just use the HP PPD file with the Apple drivers.

Search Apple's software downloads for LaserWriter and grab the latest driver package.
