I have a client with a D-Link DP-301U print server and an HP Photosmart 7760 printer. His two PCs can use the printer just fine, and the Mac (G4 iBook, OS 10.4.6) can see it just fine via AppleTalk, but I cannot figure out how to tell the Mac to use the proper HP drivers for it. It's not on the list of provided drivers, and I cannot seem to locate them on the machine. I ran HP's driver installer, but it's just a executable. I can't locate the driver files themselves. Any suggestions?

Hook up the printer directly to the mac, and try the install that way. Macs seem to have issues pulling the IDs from some printers, mostly Epsons and HPs, with print servers. If you can get it to set up correctly directly, you should be able to modify that printer to point at the machine across the network.

It's possible.
