Hi,

I'm having problems with :

Network Printer : HP4730 multifunction printer / photocopier /scanner The printer is a standalone network printer serving a group of workers, with a fixed IP address.

The MacOSX is 10.3 Panther Locale : FR

The printer can be seen and printed to from OOo 2.0.x from the Linux workstations.

The printer does not appear in the list of CUPS printers in the OOo print dialog under OOo 2.0.x for the MacOSX workstations.

The printer is available and the print options configurable from OOo 1.1.x on MacOSX.

Printing is just black and white. Solution:

  1. File > Print...
  2. Select Printer from pop-up menu
  3. Click Properties to the right of the printer menu.
  4. Click 'Device' tab
  5. Change the colour pop-up menu from 'From Driver' to 'Color'

This should resolve the problem.

It worked for me on a Cannon iP4000 connected to an Airport Express. Computer iMac G5 (iSight) 2.1 GHz. This printer was added using Bonjour.
