Yeah, still waiting here for Mac iOS 10.13 update too :( I might just opt to purcahse a standalone print server...
It just seems as though this is planned obsolescence - I'm comfortable and aware that drivers update, etc., but this is just a real pain that I can count on long term use.
Instead of using this very poor software, use the built in drivers in OSX. I can by pass this software and directly print to the IP of the router. Follow these steps.
System Preferences> Printers & Scanners
Add a printer
Select IP on the top menu
in the Address box put in the ip of the router
select HP Jetdirect - Socket
in the Use Box, select your printer software
and hit add.
On my setup, it works perfectly and super fast.
Would that work for non-HP printers? What would happen if you left it at Internet Protocol Printing?
The 2.4 utility does work, it is just that it has to constantly be reconnected upon start-up and if it has been left idle for a while. Do others know a work-around for that problem?
Yep, my printer is a Brother Lazer printer. I had no problem printing to it via this method.

The protocol (using port 9100) was developed by HP, but adopted much
more widely.

- Is your printer connected via the USB port on the router? As my HP laser jet is not found when I follow your steps?
Thanks Chadpatt! Your method of adding IP printer worked for me :)
