The love affair is over

Let me get this straight. I can't print from MacOS 10.4 to a commonplace HP non-postscript printer (in this case a LaserJet 1022) that's connected to and shared from a Windows XP box without downloading, compiling and installing a bunch of open source software from a third party.

I was under the impression that Apple computers were renowned for their ease of use.

There are a number of issues at play here. The 1022 is a cheap non-postscript printer; for those printers, OS X uses gimp-print to provide CUPS drivers for non-ps printers, but gimp-print doesn't support the 1022. Gah.
