Q: Print driver problem under Maverick OS
I guess I was a little too quick to update from Lion to Maverick. There is no print driver for my HP Laserjet 3200 All-in-One . I cannot print any pages anymore , it appears Apple threw in some obscure driver that does not work like the one under Lion OS X. Anyone have a suggestion on how to get the old driver into play since Apps does not recognize it under update.
Is it possible to migrate back to Lion?

Finally solved it by acknowledging that it is essentially a PCL6 type printer.. with the USB connected to the HP LaserJet 3200.......went to System Preferences......selected Printer/Scanner......deleted printer that is not working......added the same printer again where it shows up as connected to USB and selected the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver version 1.5.
It works perfectly, the only other thing I did was under printer settings>options>selected duplex since it has that feature.
Hope this helps anyone with a perfectly good HP Laser Printer 3200se. I might not have had this problem if I had originally purchase the 3200m which is Mac designated.
All this after upgrading to Maverick OS. I hope this upgrade is worth it. Not touching my laptop for a while to ensure all works properly. Thanks to RKaufmann for his suggestions.
