Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme
Authored by: derekwebb on Mar 30, '04 02:14:02AM

i am trying desperately to connect my 12" g4 to an hp officejet 5510 via a linksys psus4 (print server) plugged into an airport base station (the one before the airport extreme, but not extreme...). my wife's computer (a toshiba) connects and works great printing over the network. the linksys is set up with a static ip address (10.0.1.78). of course, the officejet 5510 is not a supported printer for network printing, but i have plugged it in via usb and set up the os x drivers that it came with (which works great plugged in of course...).
i can see the print server via appletalk in the print center, but can't get any of the ppds to work (i've tried a few...). so now i've been trying some of these suggestions but can't find anything here that works with my setup yet.
sorry about all these details, but i figured the more the better off i will be in getting some help.
so my first question is what ppd i might use to work with the 5510. if ANYONE knows that, any other info would be amazing. i can't help but hope this can work on my machine, if it works on my wife's pc and all...
