HP Deskjet 5150 printing options missing

[Ratboy]

I'm now using OS 10.6.8, and my old 5150 printer has no multiple printing options for paper type and quality now.

I used to get these options, and i want to print photos, can i get them back?:

Plain paper/FastDraft 600 x 300 dpi

Plain paper/FastNormal 600 x 600 dpi

Plain paper/Normal 600 x 600 dpi

Plain paper 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi 1200 x 1200 dpi

Photo paper/FastDraft 1200 x 1200 dpi

Photo paper/Normal 1200 x 1200 dpi

Photo paper/Best - PhotoREt 1200 x 1200 dpi

Hi,

The Deskjet 5150 is no longer supported by Mac OS X 10.6, as you may find listed below:

Therefore the generic print driver used only provide a very basic functionality.

You may try installing the 3rd party hpijs print drivers which support the specific model and may provide some further options for your printers

Hope it helps,
