Andrew,

any idea if you will take in consideration to do the update drivers for Laserjet 3030?

Ciao.

HP Mac Architect -- You ROCK!!!! I WORSHIP you!!!!! I just downloaded the beta driver for the C7280 and it works like a champ -- it prints, scans, you name it!!!!

Thank you so much for going the extra mile to get this to us even though it is not yet up and ready on the site (or at least wasn't this morning). I'm sure I'm not alone in appreciating you for your efforts!

Thanks so much!

Just downloaded the C7200 drivers and got everything working. Copy, Scan, Print and Fax. Great, worth the wait.
Thank you HP Mac Architect. It would be nice if HP website offered some link or update of this process.
Incidentally, Apple stores are totally ignorant of these issues, they claim no one has complained about using HP printers and Leopard, until I brought it to their attention and showed them the discussion thread. And this store is in Los Gatos, CA- next door to Apple and HP headquarters.

Hi there!

I have a simple question. I have a psc1210 that works with my airport express just for printing because scanning does not work. Scanning only works with cable connection and not very well because there are no drivers for leopard.

My question for you is this: What printer should I buy for printing and scanning wireless, knowing that I have a wireless network managed by an airport express?

Something like a photosmart c4380 ? or other?

I do not want a Rolls Royce, just a regular printing and scanning device.

Thanks for your time, and please tell HP that my printer needs drivers for it.

can someone advise?

thanks

I've got a photosmart C7280 running flawlessly on my airport extreme network. It prints, faxes, scans, with a network that includes a Leopard machine. Download the latest driver for Leopard that Mac Architect kindly posted in this thread!

I have an issue printing remotely to an HP psc 2410 all in one.

The printer is usb connected to a recent iMac running 10.5.1. When print locally it runs fine.

When trying to print remotely from a iBook G4 funning 10.4, I can successfully print, but as soon as the print dialogue disappears, the applications originating the print fails.

I have been advised that I probably need to install the leopard version of the hp print only driver on the iBook.

Does anyone know where I can procure such a driver? HP does not yet have one posted and I don't plan to upgrade the iBook to 10.5. When I try break open the Leopard Optional install package on the iBook running tiger, it fails.

6180 works great. Thanks.

Any news on OJ 6310???

I've been given an HP Scanjet 7400C but the software isn't working on my Intel Mac. Any solutions?

Good work getting the driver updates to your people btw.

Thanks,
Trey

Mac Architect,
thank you for posting these beta drivers !!

So, on the C7180 the beta driver does not work well at all (installed on a Mac pro, and Macbook pro, both 10.5.1):
While I can print and scan again fine, the options for paper, 2 sided printing, etc etc no longer show up, in any print window, any application.
For example in Safari, when printing I can select layour, scheduler etc. - but when selecting ANY item of the lower list (paper type, quality, two-sided etc.) the 'bar' displays my selection, but it stays blank. In other words, none of those options are accessable anymore at all!

The problem is showing in the CONSOLE as such:

11/29/07 3:35:46 PM HP Photosmart Studio2016 unable to load nib data: /Library/Printers/hp/cups/Inkjet.driver/Contents/PlugIns/PDE.plugin/Contents/Re sources/English.lproj/TwoSidedPrinting.nib

11/29/07 3:35:40 PM HP Photosmart Studio2016 unable to load nib data: /Library/Printers/hp/cups/Inkjet.driver/Contents/PlugIns/PDE.plugin/Contents/Re sources/English.lproj/SimpleDigitalPhoto.nib

and so on (for all the nibs in thats section)

If I drill down the paths however, the nibs ARE there. Permissions repair was done (found a bunch of HP issues , but fixed them all...)

Do you have any suggestions? This worked with the 9.5 drivers (which if course had other issues due to not being Leopard certified).

Thanks!
Dan

Ok, I think I found the problem:

All the nib's not working have a file size of 0 bytes!
Now, I installed the 9.7 beta driver on 3 systems now - and it's the same on all of them?! Are the nibs not installing correctly, or is there something wrong with the beta package for the Photosmart C7180 ?!

Thanks,
Dan

So, it's definitely a problem with the 9.7 beta INSTALLER for C7180
When I drill down the package of the installer itself, all the libs are there in the English.Lproj folder. FOr some reason, they don't copy correctly during install, resulting in the 0 byte files (I now tested this once more on a fresh-installed 10.5.1 system - same thing!).

I replaced the 0 byte files with the ones from inside the package (dated Oct 31) and it works!!!

Please make sure the installer is fixed prior to release 🙂

Thank you,
Dan

I have tried to follow all the threads and topics for getting my printer to print with Leopard. I have a new Imac (Leopard) that I am able to print wirelessly. I am also able to print from a G4 machine using Tiger. I am able to print from the MacBook if I use a USB cable from the machine to the printer. However, if I disconnect, and try to add the printer, it recognizes it, but will not add it. Any suggestions?

....and one more thing 🙂
The permissions on all the nibs (0 byte or 'fixed' out of the package) are permanently broken; permission repair is unable to fix them; also introduced with the 9.7 beta for C7180.

Thanks
Dan
