Installing HP Color Laserjet 1600 drivers
Im not technical by any stretch of the imagination, but through trawling the internet I have managed to get my HP Color Laserjet 1600 printer working in Mavericks 10.9.1. Given it's not support by HP any more, I thought I would share in case anyone else might find it useful.
I'm sure there are better ways to install these things than I have done, but I'm just going to describe what I did - hey it works, so I don't mind!
Firstly, install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
In a Terminal Window, install Homebrew by copying and pasting the following:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
Install wget and gnu-sed by copying and pasting the below into a Terminal Window, one line at a time.
brew install wget
brew install gnu-sed
Download and installed Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and HIPJS for Mac OS X.
Enter the following in Terminal
wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
cd foo2zjs
make
./getweb 1600
sudo make install
sudo make cups
cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Then, open up a CUPS web interface at: http://localhost:631
Then add a printer by clicking on Adding Printers and Classes and then Add Printer.
Enter your Mac OS X user name (must be an administrator) and your password.
Select the printer and click the submit button. My printer was connected with a USB cable and was in the list automatically.
Enter a name and description and submit the form again.
Select HP
Select HP Color LaserJet 1600 Foomatic/foo2hp (en)
Click on Add Printer
Set Color Mode to Color and Bits Per Plane to 1 Bits Per Plane.
Submit.
Done!
