Hello smoothsensation!

 

Use this link:

http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

 

Under product support & troubleshooting enter your product name/number and select your product. There should be a drivers and downloads section within each product where you may find what you are looking for. For commercial products you are having issues with I'd recommend perusing our commercial boards.


You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

I am trying to find PPD for Photosmart Pro 9180 version 3.0. When using version 3.3.0 (under MacOS X 10.6) a enormous lot of ink is on the whole paper. When using version 3.0 the print is as expected.

 

So where to find ppd 3.0 - and where do I find the file in OSX library?

That does not supply any ppd files. In fact the unix link doesn't work.

You can find PPD files and a GUI for installing HP printers on this website: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html Your linux distro may also have it in their repositories as hplip.
