I can make changes on cups server running on the mac (1.3.something) with the web interface. I tried adding the printer with the web gui. It works but I can't choose the hpijs driver. Only choice is gutenprint. I also tried connecting the printer directly to the mac then copying the ppd file and using that with the remote printer profile but no way. It doesn't work. I thought it could be because of non matching cups version on server and mac but I have no problems with linux clients with non matching versions.
