    The program that you want is called MacPrint. It allows for non-Mac
HP printers to connect to a Mac via the phone port and print. It also
has support for many of the HP cartridges that you can purchace.

    You don't need to be on a network for MacPrint to function,
regardless of the mac you own (although there might be a few hangups
with some of the more anitque macs, ie. pre-MacPlus)

    It actually works fairly well, although I would sample all of the
different fonts that the printer knows to see which ones work best. We
have had a few problems with Bookman and some of the other PostScrpit
fonts, and we have the Adobe PostScrpit cartridge installed.
