I would like to find a way to use my old HP 895cxi Printer on Lion

‎05-06-2012 11:05 AM

I have an HP 895cxi printer that continues to work well and is economical.   I just got an apple with OS lion but unfortunately it will not run with the HP 895cxi.    Any ideas of a fix or anything that can be done?  There has to be a fix.   Thanks for anything you might be able to help with.

You could try Gutenprint: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/

Hi,

The Gutenprint drivers are not compatible with Lion, but only with Snow Leopard 10.6 or older versions.

 

You may try the HPIJS 3rd party drivers which do compatible with your OS and also support the 895cxi printer:
