HP printer support in Snow Leopard

[macgig]

I hope HP offers a free fix via an updated driver. my printer is not old and Im not buying another one.

Is there a solution yet for the HP DeskJet D4360?

I'm able to view supply levels and print test pages galore, but beyond that I'm stuck dead in the water.  I'm seeing conflicting reports on whether this printer is currently supported by Snow Leopard.

Don't know how many different ways there are to say this to get the point across, but here's ANOTHER way:

using the utility I can print a test page on my D4160. but no other application prints.

HP Deskjet D4360 ( 4300 Series) is up and running under 10.6.

( Update Note :  I have been using my D4360 continuously since Sept 4th, and not one problem. )

I cleaned out any any and all HP items for a  printer in my /Home folder/ Library/ ( in the following folders)  Caches and Printers and Preferences.

I also cleaned out any any and all HP items for a printer in the first level Library/ ( in the following folders) Printers and Preferences.

I then down loaded the drive from HP.  Version 9.7.1, Custom install,  HP Print and Utilities only.

After install. Set up printer in System Preferences/ Add Printer/ Make sure you have Drive  version 2.3.1,  If you have the wrong version go to Driver and select printer software ( hit the" print using:"  to select printer software) type in  "hp deskjet D4300" and select / OK. Go back to general  to check that you have 2.3.1.

I am sure I did a few restarts to boot the driver.  I have been running the printer through its paces for a number of hours now and complete restarts and it is still working.

Additionally: I have a Scanjet G4050, I use it via VueScan software. it is working perfectly under SL.

Hello,

Does anyone have any information about the OfficeJet D135 and Snow Leopard?  I can't find it on either HP's supported or unsupported list.  Gutenprint has print-only drivers, but they don't work too well and I really need the scanner.  Any information would be appreciated.

check out VueScan. at  hemrick.com  I have used this since 1999. it is the best scanner app out there. My current scanner is a HP scanjet G4050. (bought it june 2009) and I checked to made sure that it would run on VueScan before I would but it.  I won't even use HP apps anymore.

Hello jtdavis,

Very sorry, the Officejet D135 was not supported with Leopard and it is not supported with Snow Leopard either.

I have been unable to get my trust Laserjet 5p to work with my brand new mac. I have it connected with a Prolific Technology IEEE-1284 Controller cable. (It works okay with it when I run XP, but not from the Mac side.) Due to Apple's screwup, I have not yet gotten my copy of Snow Leopard, but don't think that will fix it. Have downloaded and installed Gutenprint, to no avail. If I send a one-line TextEdit doc to the printer, it prints about 25 pages that are blank or gobbledygook. It seems that my printer is a 5P, *not* a 5MP. The model number is C3150A. It has been suggested that I simply need to get the chip for C3152 or C3155 (I forget, and was never sure) and swap it out for the chip in my printer, and it will then think it is a 5MP and will work with my present OS AND with Snow Leopard if and when I ever get my copy from Mac.

Any of you HP geniuses have an answer to this one? I really like my 5P and am not keen to replace it. And, oh, BTW, I also have a 6P, so if you have an answer, please let me know what the answer is for the 6P as well. Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  I've actually been using it under Leopard since it came out, but the experience hasn't been exactly smooth.  I'll have to think about what I want to do.  Have a nice day.
