When you try to add an HP LaserJet 2300 in Printer Setup Utility, the message "Printer not responding" appears. If you select and add the printer manually, the same message appears when you try to print.
This can happen with an HP LaserJet 2300, 2300L, or 2300d connected via USB, or any HP LaserJet with an HP JetDirect J4135A Connectivity Card installed when connected via USB.
To fix this, download and install Mac OS X 10.3.2 Update or later. It's available from Software Update preferences, or Apple Downloads (
http://www.apple.com/swupdates/).
If you're not ready to update, you can use these workarounds:
- If the printer has an HP JetDirect Card for 10/100Base-T installed, connect the printer to the computer's Ethernet port.
- Connect the printer to the USB port of an AirPort Extreme Base Station, if one is available. For more information, see technical document 107456.
