Ya, I might not be as proficient with the mac os vs. windows, but HP, Canon, and Apple tech support all concur on the way drivers for the mac are written and the almost non exist support for home based printers being accessed via printer server (non apple) or a windows machine for instance. Basically they refer to the database of drivers are written for usb direct support only. if you have a network ready printer, then the manufacturer provides a driver or it will generally be PCL compatible. Home printers (host based), are not made to work on a mac unless they are directly plugged into the usb slot. Almost no exceptions from the different tech support departments I've dealt with. But when using an apple base station or express with the USB printer server option, some how when using the add printer utility under os x, it sees the printer as Bonjour but then once it connects, it's as if it's a local USB and the correct printer driver always pops up and works instantly. However, even if you have just say the HP Laserjet P1006 like myself. This has a Mac OS X driver which works peachy if you plug it in to the usb port. Also under a windows VM via parallels, the HP will print fine as well. But just because a printer says mac on the box doesn't mean it will work in a networked environment. Only exception are higher end printers that have PCL support that MAC supports with generic drivers out of the box. Nothing fancy here, just a basic driver so you can print. Nevertheless, my $25 Apple Express station was a steal and problem solved. Anyone want a almost new Apple Gigabit base station Wireless N mega cheap? don't need it anymore.
