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).

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]
