![]() So, taking back to Google, I read about setting the 2100 up as an IP printer. When first connecting the parallel end of the Parallel to USB cable to the printer, I noticed there was room to put a network card in the printer. ![]() Incidentally, I had to delete and re-add the printer no matter if I was using the HP driver or the Gutenprint driver. Once these drivers were installed, the garbled text issue was resolved, but I now noticed something new - every time I rebooted, I would have to delete the printer and add it again, and this got old very quickly. Taking to Google, I found others having the same problem and resolved it using Gutenprint drivers. However, this only worked for a short while before the printer began spitting out gibberish. The connection was successful and Software Update found the proper drivers and installed them. The first thing I tried was using a Parallel to USB cable and hooking the printer directly up to one of the USB ports on my system. ![]() However, the entire process took around a week, so hopefully this will help others see just how easy it is to use this printer with a Mac running El Capitan. Earlier today, I was able to successfully set up an HP LaserJet 2100 on my 2009 Mac Pro.
