    Does anyone have experience using an HP OfficeJect 6110 under OS X
    with a USB print server _other_ than the "official" JetDirect one from
    HP ($199 list, $150 street!)?

    I'd like to use something less expensive, such as a Linksys, D-Link, Hawking, IOGear, or LANReady product ($50-$80 street).

    http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=37&prid=438 http://www.dlink.com/products/print_servers/dp300u/ http://www.hawkingtech.com/prodSpec.php?ProdID=132 http://www.iogear.com/products/product.php?Item=GPSU01 http://www.lanready.com/cp-710-usb.htm

    I know the AiO features won't work over TCP/IP; I just need printing support. I don't want to go with a hacked driver either; I'd like to
    use the standard HP driver, if possible.

    Thanks!

    As far as the IOGear USB print server, you may want to refer to their
    list of printers here, http://www.iogear.com/support/til/index.php?func=TILDisplay&TIL_ID=10116.

    Following up to my original post, I have this working with an HP
    JetDirect 175x, which I bought off ebay for $98. Oddly enough, this is
    only supported by HP via _AppleTalk_.

    I tried, really hard, to get it working with the IOGear product, but
    in the end it was easier to spend the extra $50 and do it the
    supported way.

    [btw, if anyone's interested in my experience with the IOGear product,
    reply to this msg and I'll post more details]
