Hi Matt,
I have removed the files and links that I previously made and then
installed the hpijs drivers from the site
http://linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
> a. HP indicates that the printer uses PCL 3 enhanced.

so it should work basically with almost any Officejet driver distributed
by the hpijs package.

I am not so sure about that but I installed the espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg
file at first which is no problem with a previously installed version of
ghostscript.

Yes, by copying the ppd-file to this directory, I can select the printer
directly from the OSX-Printer-Setup.
But anyway there occur still the following error messages when I am
trying to print:
<
No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!
Network host '10.0.1.1 is busy ; will retry in 30 seconds

For the printer setup I chose the OSX printer utility's option add
printer and:
-Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
-Address: 10.0.1.1 (which is the IP of the Airport base station that the
printer is attached to)
-chose HP Officejet Pro K550 Foomatic/hpijs from the menue.
To me it seems that there is a communication problem between cups and
the network, but I don't have an idea how to solve it (as I wrote:
printing with the original OSX driver works perfectly).
Can anybody help?
Thanks and best wishes,
Gerald
