Just printed successfully from my Photosmart C4385. Why in the world did they disable this?

Works on my HP PSC 1600.
Same printer here. Installed Hacktivator, it worked for one test print, perfectly, then I tried printing last night after Software Update prompted me to update my HP drivers, and now it won't print. Anyone else have this happen?

It installs on a Mac and allows your iPad (running 4.2.1) to print to your network printers. See link in post #1.

Try deleting the printer object and re-adding it. I had to do that to initially get AirPrint to work. Maybe the updating of the drivers caused the printer object in OSX to be reset to not sharing.

I implemented this on my Mac Mini 2.4Ghz C2D (which is on all the time)

Canon:
MP150 (connected via USB)

HP
Laserjet 6P
Photosmart D7260

My wish is that this would work without needing a Mac. The two HP printers I have are both network printers with static IP addresses (the 6P is using a parallel-to-ethernet adapter). Would be nice to be able to print directly to them without having this hack work around.

I almost bought one of the newer HP ePrint printers, but once I read about how I needed to print to it (sending an email to the printer), I decided to check out other options. Really happy with this solution, but would like it to go one step further and print direct without needing a Mac.
