Laurent,
I am using a MP2000u with a Farralon ethernet card. It is plugged into
the network right next to my PC, and I have been able to print from
there. I just downloaded and ran the HP utility "HP web JetAdmin" to
check on the printer, wow that is a great utility, and AppleTalk is
enabled. It does have an IP address, could I print to it directly that
way?
Josh.
