Mac OS X and Windows XP 64 bit print jobs to HP 2600n printer fails or dissappears

Mac OS X or Windows XP 64 bit print jobs to HP 2600n printer fails, disappears, or pretends to print but nothing comes out.

The Color LJ 2600n is one of the few HP printers that is not postscript, which explains why the Generic Postscript driver and all the other HP drivers we tried failed.

Here is the Mac fix:

System preference pane "Print & Fax", you add a new printer and at the bottom of the window you will find a "More printers" button. (Mac OS 10.4.X)

A new drivers detected window will pop up, click "OK".

Choose HP IP Printing (Mac OS 10.3.X - 10.4.X)

Then add the IP number assigned to your printer.

===================================

For Windows XP 64 bit printing, use the Windows Vista driver as that has also been confirmed and tested to work.
