May 15, 2013 12:06 PM in response to gauripramilaby Shane_R@HP,From what I can gather, the drivers for this printer come from Apple Software Updates. All you should have to do is connect the printer to the Mac via USB, add the printer's queue to the Mac's printer list, and the drivers will install. That is the only way to get the driver for 10.6 for this printer.

May 15, 2013 10:46 PM in response to Shane_R@HPby gauripramila,But can that affect the configurations on the windows computers? i dont want to try anything that may make the printers stop working on windows.
is it that if i plug the printer to my mac once just for getting the driver and then it is plugged back to the windows computer i will be able to access it through the network internet connection?
thankyou for your help.
