This could very well be an issue with the HP driver suite, since they force you to use their installer, rather than providing specific drivers. The installer doesn't play nice unless the printer is hooked up locally.

Ugh. Maybe we should try the Samba printer driver hack. Do you have an inf file for your printer?


Do you know of any different driver sets that could be used, or how I can feed directly into CUPS from the Windows machine, as I have all the CUPS drivers for Windows.

CUPS drivers for Windows?? Regarding feeding directly from CUPS in Windows, yeah, there is a way. Use the cups queue and install one of those Apple Postscript drivers for the cups queue. That way, the Windows boxes will generate postscript which cups can swallow and intepret.

The cups + Windows Apple postscript driver should be the simplest.

The printer driver wizard method with an inf file is a bit more involved, see the link below:
