No driver for HP PSC 1350 printer in Rendezvous

Hi,
Since updating to OSX 10.3.9, I can't seem to print via Airport Extreme. Printing via the USB port on my PowerBook is fine and when the printer is plugged into the Airport basestation it appears in the Rendezvous printer list but when I try to add it, I get a message saying "Driver Not Installed".
I can't see how I can load a driver when all the printer software is loaded and it works OK from the USB on my PowerBook.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

You aren't the only one having trouble getting the PSC 1350 to work via an Airport Extreme. See:

Sorry - I have no suggestions.

I do have the same problem with Airport express base station, HP 1350 driver 2.7.2, iBook.

I am not sure wether it was the update to OS 10.3.9 or the last update of the Airport software and base station firmware which created the p/b.

I tried everything I could but the message "Driver not installed" stays the same ...

Having read some of the other postings from people with a similar problem, I've now tried a "hard reset" and uploaded the latest Airport firmware (5.5.1) but this hasn't made any difference - I still get the "Driver not installed" message when trying to add a Rendezvous printer.
Where do I go from here? All this technology at my fingertips and I'm having to resort to plugging my printer into my PowerBook USB port if I want to print anything.
Please help.
Dave.

I'm having a very similar problem. I was able to connect to my HP 3745 from my PowerBook through the AirportExpress, but not from my iBook. I didn't have to install any drivers on the PowerBook. After the iBook told me "driver not installed," I installed the entire HP CD. Still nothing. I also tried the IP printing solution, and the Gimp-Print drivers. Any ideas? Thanks.

Camden:

The workaround described here using the HPIJS driver for the DeskJet 3745 has been described to work.
