Existing users, 
After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.7, I was no longer able to print. I followed these steps to make it work again:
1. Use the HP Unistaller (located in the HP folder). It seemed to hang, but I let it run for over an hour, then finally chose "Quit" from the dock menu (hold down the mouse button). It then popped up a window claiming success.
2. Re-download the driver. (Hint -- in Safari, go to preferences and uncheck the box labelled "Open Safe Files after Downloading". Then, drop the .hqx file onto Stuffit Expander (the latest version).
3. Download Pseudo Link
4. Mount the HP installer image, then Drag and drop the Installer program onto Psuedo -- this will launch the installer with admin privs.
5. Follow the installer.
I still think the HP drivers suck, which is a shame since I really really like the hardware of my HP D145.

I had a hell of a time with my hpofficejet d125xi, couldnt find it over the network.When i lugged it to my computer and installed it directly it still wouldnt print. When i sent a file to print after approx 5secs it would say 'stopped' with no rhyme or reason.
The installer would hang on the 'sending settings to your printer dialog' leaving me unsure of whether the printer was even installed.
I used iScreensavers post there and it worked perfectly, thanks mate!
Just a pity that you have to go to such an extreme to get a mass market printer working with a top of the line computer and the latest software......get your act together HP!!
