aboutthe only I can tell you is that this printer uses DHCP.. and yes, there are newer drivers for it. the website mentions a jet direct wireless card and that you have to put the printer in "Ad-hoc" mode, whatever that is....I think the crystal ball's starting to go dark...maybe reset printing system...add network printer...maybe try "Gutenprint" or "Gimp Print".??...doesn't appear to be listed as Yosemite-friendly...okay, I think I got it
here's how to do a cold reset on the printer.. turn it off. hold "Go" key, turn on printer, keep holding "Go" key until you see "COLD RESET:"
release the "GO" key, watch for INITIALIZING, then restoring Factory Settings...then OFFLINE..press "Go" again to put it online. see if you can get it
to spit out a configuration page..press menu until you see info menu...then item...then Print configuration, then select to print page....
go to print and fax preferences..go to existing icon of your LaserJet priner and click "Minus", then click plus, then go to add printer, then select IP
button at top. Under "Protocol" choose HP Jetdirect-Socket is chosen. Under address, type in your printer's address. Make sure "Print using" is set to
HP LaserJet 5000. you may have to turn on Internet Sharing on the Mac, possibly/
I've given it a try, anways
