How to use the scanning function of my HP PSC 1215

Hello everybody,

soory for my english, I'm a french user and I don't use very frequently english speaking.
I've installed Snow Leopard on my Imac early 2009, everything works really fine except my all-in-on HP PSC 1215. On Leopard, I used successfully the printing and scanning function of this device but nothing works on Snow Leopard.
Can you explain to me how to use this device (please give me a step by step tutorial, if it's possible)

thank you very much and please, excuse me about my poor english level

Imac early2009, Mac OS X (10.6)

Try using the "image Capture" application that came with your computer. First, turn on your scanner.

With any luck, Image Capture will recognise it and you will be able to scan.

Ok, I will try when I come back to my house. But, which driver can I use ? I've seen a driver called "HP P1215" (proposed by snow leopard) but the printing function doesn't work with this one ?

You only asked about scanning.

If you can't print, try going to the HP website and see if HP has released updated drivers for your printer.

If not, keep trying. Snow Leopard is very new and not all manufacturers are up to date yet.

and see the post from unicorn27, who reports that this printer is working in Snow Leopard.

More on Apple's +Image Capture+ app mentioned above. ...It's in the Applications folder and some scanners will work with this without the need for the manufacturer's software drivers. Read more in this Apple doc:
