Sweet.  Sorry, I thought I had found all of the FW patches that didn't have Mac solutions.  Try the patch and then let me know how it goes.

OK.  Let me ask a Windows guy what's up.  They may have a workaround for this.

Have you tried running it anyway? Have the printer set up with a USB with a basic driver in the Win 7 OS and run the FW update.

Re: HP Photosmart C4580, Mac OSX Lion

Well, I am out of ideas.  Let me try and get a Windows person over here to see if there is something they can do.
