We print via LPD to a Windows Print Server from our Macintosh computers. Under Mac OS X Lion (10.7) HP drivers seem to only be available via Software Update.

1. Is there a way to configure the Windows server to tell the Macintosh computers which printer they are connecting to so they can download and install the appropriate driver?

or

2. Is there a way to manually install the drivers?

Thanks

I thin you will need to contact your Technical Support people for this.

Are you referring to the technical support people at HP, Microsoft or Apple?

I'm new to this forum, but is, "Go somewhere else?," typical of the kind of support this forum offers?

Only when it's beyond us.

Yours is a very technical question, not really Mac specific, but Mac, Microsoft Print server and HP. While we can cover most general questions, sometimes the best help we can give is to be honest and say go to the experts!
