Printing in OS X screws up

[lieb39]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to print on my newly purchased mac mini. It's networked to my Active Directory Network, so I can get my shares and such. I'm trying to print to my printer, a HP Deskjet 5550, which is connected to my 2003 server.

I tried using the generic and special drivers (downloaded off the net) and each time I get random lettering and such coming out. tried to play with the settings but no luck. anyone have anyy idea why this isn't working?

Thanks,

Just in case anyone else is having a problem-

From the Apple boards:

The HP-provided driver doesn't support Windows Printing. Install the hpijs and ESP ghostscript drivers from:

Worked for me!

Cheers,
