well, i am stumped.
once, we were happy. we had a wifi HP printer and all could print.
all our max os x versions were 10.4.something.
then, we upgraded one mac-mini to a new one, 10.6.4.
now the mac-mini can't print.
it can see the printer, and using the printer utility, i can print
test pages.
but from any app, like preview, it send s a print job, but it never
connects, always saying that the printer is busy and will retry later.
if have tried connect to the printer as an IP printer, and as an LPD
printer;
both fail teh same way. printing from my 10.4 mac laptop works.
printing from my 10.6.4 laptop works.
well, as i wrote that, it ocurred to me to see the difference between
the two 10.6.4 machines.
the difference is that on the laptop, by default, the printer comes
up as a bonjour 'kind', whereas i have to specify IPP and the net
address (10.0.1.10)
on the mac mini. if i force the laptop to do the same IPP thing, it
too fails.
any suggestions?
