I finally got my HP PhotoSmart 7350 to work with my Mac iBook G4 running OS X 10.4 (Tiger) (after nearly two years of banging my head against the wall trying to get the standard HP driver to work in any fashion). Here's how:
- Go to The Linux Foundation OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs drivers page.
- Download and install from that page (in this order): ESP Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP and finally the hpijs package.
- Go to the Mac Printer Setup Utility (in Applications/Utilities) and add your printer (e.g. "HP PhotoSmart 7350 Foomatic/hpijs" under "HP").
I was even able to get this working with a Linksys WPS58G wireless-G print server by setting up an "IP Printer" with Protocol set to "HP Jet Direct - Socket" , Address to the IP address of the print server (e.g. 192.168.20.200).
I hope this may help someone else who is struggling with this.
