Print to a HP OfficeJet G55 over a wireless Linksys router WPS 11
Authored by: duder on Mar 05, '06 08:57:30PM

I played for about 5 hours today and many days before before this hint lead me in the right direction.

Here's what I did.
1. First go get GIMP 5.0.0 beta2 drivers.
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
2. Install the drivers.
3. Open "System Prefences" (I'm using Tiger)
4. Open "Print & Fax"
5. Click "+"
6. At the top choose "IP Printer"
7. Set Protocol to "Line Printer Daemon - LDP"
8. Set address to the IP address of the Print Server. (See above post to figure that out.)
9. Set Queue to "P1" or whatever your queue is set to in the print server. (For Linksys WPS11 ver. 1.0 this is "P1" by default.)
10. Make the "Name" whatever you want.
11. For the "Printer Using" scroll down to "HP DeskJet 900 series - Gimp-Print v5.0.0 beta2"
12. Click "Add Printer"
13. Try to print something. It worked for me.
It was damn hard the first time, but now it works well with both my Imac, and my Windows XP laptop
