dornier Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi everyone, I have an HP Photosmart 7760 printer, but I can't find the print driver in 10.4.3. I installed the HP OS X drivers, but it still doesn't show up when I select more printers. Any ideas? Are there any generic drivers that might work? Thanks for the help!

jbjonas Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I had to deal with a nonsupported HP printer in 10.4.1 (not the same as yours). It was a gigantic pain in the ass, but eventually I got it to work. Luckily 10.4.3 8F1111A supported it fine for me. I ended up going to HP's site and following links for linux/UNIX support to their collaboration with opensource developers on sourceforge.net. From there I installed the OSX developer tools, recompiled it, installed GIMP cups and some other stuff I can't remember, and fiddled with settings until it worked. I would not want to do it again, as it took several days effort, although it was a good learning experience If you think you're up to it, check HP's site and see if they have a similar opensource solution for your driver. Mine was a Laserjet 1012, but it's a cheap Laser and uses the same drivers as a lot of inkjets (HPIJS).
