You need to have the right driver installed on your mac. I assume your new mac came with the leopard OS 10.5? If so than the CD wouldn't have installed onto the mac.
HP so far has not released any drivers for your printer for the 10.5 but you can still print if you assign the drivers yourself. Click on the apple in the top left corner and go down to system preferences. Then click on print and fax. You will see 1 or more 6100's in the list. Click to highlight one and then at the bottom left click on the minus sign. If it asks if your sure you want to delete click on delete or yes and repeat until all 6100's are gone. Then click the + sign and make sure you are on the button on the far left I think it's default brower. You should see your printer listed. Click on it to highlight and then down at the bottom click on the drop down next to where it says print using - and choose select a driver to use. Type in 6100 and your printer should come up. Add it and try to print.
If that is a no go then do the same steps but instead of using 6100 series use the P1000 driver for the photosmart printer - gimp works better than guten if given the choice.
Try printing a different application or file, try printing a test page form the printer itself does it print an internal test page? then the file has a problem.
I know this sounds dumb, but alignment pages use the color cartridge to make black print. Are you sure your black cartridge is working? and what does the windows test page come out looking like?
