If you're using Mac OS X 10.2 or later to print to an HP raster (inkjet) printer that's being shared by a Mac OS X-based computer, the same version of the printer driver should be installed on both computers. Otherwise, the print job might not print even though the computer sharing the printer can print without issue. The application being used to print may unexpectedly quit when attempting to print to the shared printer.
To make sure that both computers are using the same driver, download and install the latest driver available from the HP Software & Driver Downloads website.
Note: You can print without having an HP printer driver installed on a computer connecting to a shared printer, but you will not have access to some printer-specific settings.
