I have the exact same printer. For some reason Snow Leopard doesn't come with the drivers for it, even though I could swear it came with the Snow Leopard betas. But that doesn't matter because you can install the driver from HP's website. I've tested it and it seems to work 100%.

btw, I have a network install but I believe it's the same drivers, unlike in Windows where they are different driver set.

The HP Color LaserJet 2600 is supported by HP on MacOS X. It requires a proprietary driver.
I wasn't able to even see my 2600n on my network after installing SL on my MacBook (09).
I douwnloaded the driver and installed it and still couldn't see it.
However, I do have a Mac Mini on my network running 10.5 that I have set up to share the printer through Bon Jour.
That works.
If anyone has any detailed directions on how to get it to work directly (not shared), please post.

My HP 2600n is working just fine with 10.6. I did go to HP's site and get the drivers for OSX for it before trying though.
Tested both direct USB and as a networked printer and both ways are working.

My 2600n works fine as long as I am plugged directly into my computer. Problem is that I have the HP running to my Airport Extreme and have been printing wirelessly... this is not working. Any suggestions?
I had exactly the same problem.
What I did was go to System Preferences/Print & Fax and then proceeded to add the 2600n.
I got an error message when I tried using the driver from the drop down menu. So I tried "Other" which opened the "Finder". I went to Desktop where the 2600n OS X 10.5 Installer was still "docked". I clicked the Installer icon and that seemed to have worked. My 2600n (on my Airport Extreme Network) was added and it worked.
I don't know what I did right, but it worked. I didn't understand anything that I did ... I am a recent switcher from Windows, but I'm glad my 2600n is up and running at a network printer again.
I had the same problem. My 2600n is connected via Time Capsule. I followed the same procedure as above and it worked. But I don't know why and I've been using Macs since 1991. I hope we'll have a driver soon !!
I followed the directions indicated above and the printer is now working, although it seems a lot slower than under 10.5.
Does anyone have the 2600n drivers working over Bonjour?
I have (or had) my printer hooked up to an airport express and tucked out of the way. Unfortunately, I'm unabled to print via Bonjour in Snow Leopard. I need to take a laptop over to the printer to print. Less than ideal.

driver offers only basic support in 64bit apps
The current drivers for the 2600n will print from any app, but advanced features are only available for 32bit apps (like manual duplex, layout and color settings).

Follow the instructions above, and your printer will work. I'm connected wirelessly through an airport extreme.
