Running Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.3 Accessing an HP OfficeJet 5610 plugged in the USB port of a US Robotics router.

I tried several combinations of:

Protocol:

  • Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
  • Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
  • HP JetDirect (socket)

Address:

Driver:

  • HP OfficeJet 5600 Series

Whenever I try to print, it fails while saying "connected to printer" or "Printer is busy...zill try again in X seconds"

Both Windows 7 and Windows XP computers on the network can successfully access this printer, identifying it as "HP5610 on http://192.168.1.10:1631/"

I tried clearing all tasks and printers (ctrl-click in the menu), and resetting it to (socket, http://192.168.1.10:1631/printers/HP5610, HP5600 series) but to no success.
