Because of all the issues with HP I was thinking I may look to a different brand, is there a brand out there that is made for Mac as opposed to made for a PC?

Has anyone had any experience with this printer? Is it like a step up from the 1022? HP LaserJet P1500 Printer

No such animal. It's all in the driver. HP seems to have screwed the pooch as regards Snow Leopard. Brother, on the other hand, seems to have its act together. I would be looking at another brand than HP at this point.

I agree. Brother has adopted CUPS as the standard for their drivers, and that is the future for Mac compatible printers. Canon is also headed that way.

However, there are other printers that work with 10.6. I was visiting relatives and had no trouble connecting to their Samsung printer with my MacBook Pro.

Just to be clear, 100% of the HP drivers included in Snow Leopard are CUPS. We are committed to CUPS and have been for a while (all new printers have been shipping with CUPS drivers for years). The problems with the 1022 are specific to transitioning to CUPS drivers (the older Tioga ones don't have the same problems). We are working through the issues on this one printer, and will hopefully have it fully functional soon. All of the other HP supported printers work just find under Snow Leopard.

Just trying to help.
