Can't print to a shared HP Laser Jet 2015 printer (Mac)

The configuration is set up for 6 to 7 computers (various Macs running on OSX 10.4.11 platform) to print to a shared HP Laser Jet 2015 printer which is connected to a Mac G3 tower.
Most can print, however; one machine is unable to see the printer and another can connect to it, but is unable to successfully print to it.
(The error message reads - out of InDesign - Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection.)
I have exhausted all avenues that I can think of and even contacted HP & Adobe, to no avail.

Any suggestions of options to try would be gratefully accepted!
Thanks!

Mac OSX 10.6.8 HP laser printer connected to ethernet port on router. Can connect and print wirelessly from one computer on network but not another. How to fix?

Can you ping from both computers? (Open terminal and try "ping <the printer's IP address>" obviously replace the <> with the IP of your printer) I'm not too familiar with Macs but can you comapre the driver version? If there is a universal HP driver, use that.

Trying to connect 4 MACs to all in one Kodak 5250 printer and will not connect via wireless. I had to set up so that the other pc's have to print from one location via hardwire. I tried installing...

If you have one PC connected to the printer via USB you can share the printer to your Mac computers easily:
If the printer is connected to a Macintosh computer via USB:
1) Open System Preferences
2) Click on Print and Fax
3) Highlight the Printer and Check the box Marked "Share This Printer On The Network"

If the printer is connected to a windows computer via USB:
1) Download "Bonjour Print Services for Windows" from Apple's website
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999
2) Install it on the PC connected to the Printer.
3) After Installing the Above, Run the Bonjour Printer Configuration Utility and select the Printer you want to share and it will share it over the network to all your apple devices.
