Hi,
You should make sure that your printer is properly setup on MITnet. After
the setup, print out the HP Configuration Page to verify the Appletalk
Status, AppleTalk Name of the printer, and the Ethernet Zone.
If you get the Spooled Binary File Rejected Error try using a generic or
lower HP laserjet driver for your PPD file.
