Russ,

I'm sorry to report that we do not currently support the Mac platform. Some users have had luck in getting it to work however.

Although I am unable to assist you with this. You may want to search the archives, there is some possible information on how to do it in the list.

Good luck and sorry for the inconvenience.

Aaron

I Have a new 20" IMac, OS X, v10.4, with which I would like to use my faithful HP D135xi do-all printer, connected via my local Ethernet network. The Mac drivers supplied by HP do not let me take advantage of many of the features I was able to use with my Windows machine. After some searching I found the HPLIP project which I presume will let me access most of the features from within my Mac apps.

I unsuccessfully tried to load HPLIP on my machine trying both the hplip-1.6.10.run installer and the manual load method, both on the Terminal application and the X11 application.

With the hplip-1.6.10.run installer, after the extraction, I get:

"Initializing...
ps: comm: keyword not found
ps: no valid keywords
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./install.py", line 464, in ?
    distro, distro_version = getDistro()
  File "/Users/russ/hplip-1.6.10/base/distros.py", line 68, in getDistro
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/issue' "



Using the manual method, I get as far as Step 8 of the third step; It does its checking thing and finishes with:

"configure: error: cannot find libusb support"
With step 9, I enter the 'make " command as instructed and get :

"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."

I tried going farther, to no avail.



I am a relative newbie to all of this. Is there something I'm missing here, or not doing correctly? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Russ Fischer
