I have made an installer.... The whole process is much
simpler now and the old way could do some bad things if you wanted
to use a different printer.
Here it is:
pnm2ppa_Installer.dmg
(asu does not have their server set up right so you probably have
to control click to download this, nothing I can do about it,
sorry)
As always you should back up your data first :)
If you want to look at the old instructions they are still alive at
http://www.public.asu.edu/~gkruse/old.html
but you really
shouldn't use them. I am leaving them there because anyone who used them
before needs to undo everything before using the installer. The installer
does basically the same
thing without the side effects, plus you get to control the settings on
your printer!!!
Good luck and happy printing, tell me how it goes.
After you run the installer :
Open Print Center
hold down the option key and click add
from the pulldown menu choose advanced
Under device select your printer... if it does not show up it is
not connected!!!
Under printer model choose other
choose
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa-ppd.ppd
(or the ppd with your printer name)
Click add
That should be it, I hope this helps. I have submitted my
installer to the folks at www.linuxprinting.org, hopefully they
will add it to the mac os x section. If you need any additional
help that would be a good place to go, or you can e-mail me
geoff@blinkey.kicks-ass.org
If you used this installer and it helped you PLEASE post to the MacOS X
list at www.linuxprinting.org and tell
them that you want this added to the MacOS X section. I have tried but no
one will listen to me. I can't keep the installer posted here forever, I
will be leaving ASU next fall and they will take away my web
space!!!
