Finally got my servers back online.  If you need to put your servers in the middle of your office, I totally recommend the XRackPro2. I have a small 4u here with a couple dual core Intel slabs. They’re almost as quiet as my desktop!

I was trying to connect my HP-7310 officejet to my IMac using a USB cable. The HP is usually on my home network, using the Ethernet connection. The problem is that it is located far away from the mac. I wish it was wireless, but its not and I don’t want to shell out for an HP wireless print server.

Anyway, After a ton of fiddling with drivers and USB cables, I came to the conclusion that the USB port on the HP was hosed.

So, I put the HP back on the network (in its inconvenient location); I decided to dig up the ol’ Samsung ML-1740 and connect it instead. Unfortunately, OSX doesn’t have a default driver for this printer so I had to search online to find it. As noted on other sites, Samsung does not have the MacOS drivers on their US site. They do however have the drivers on their Austrailian site.

Just in case I need it in the future, I’m putting a link to the driver here:
