Hi Reflow, You'll probably find that you have the driver pre-installed. Tiger comes with a huge library of drivers. If it doesn't work you'll need to download it from HP's website & you'll need the model or range number of the printer.

Hp does not support it any more. I posted this same question about a year ago and I can't find it anywhere. It is a third party that had something called cups or something like that (liunix or something was the name of the site)

Hi again.

You're quite correct, it is CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System).

Is http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html what you were looking for?

There are many '1100' HP printers listed.

OSX also installs Gimp print drivers, I'm a total ignoramus as to how you set them up though, sorry.
