Hey guys, I have an HP photosmart c4100 that i got with that discount hooked up to an airport express but for some reason it's not letting me print on it. It can detect it on the airport utility and on the bonjour printers menu, but when i click that it says "adding printer..." and then an error pops up and takes me to printing preferences where i can't see anything wrong. Any ideas?!?
 
The error says "an error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. error:-9672" if that helps...
 
Make sure you install the HP software for the printer. If it means plugging the printer directly in to the computer once during setup, so be it. But you have to have drivers on the computer before it will work, even over Bonjour.

I tried that to no avail, I found another site with gimp-print and now i can get the printer to print, unfortunately, it only prints a ton of pages of code...
