HP LaserJet M1522 Scanning in Lion?

Hi all,


HP do not have 10.7 Drivers for LaserJet M1522 so am unsure if scanning will work in Lion running 10.6 drivers.


Anyone have this printer who is able to tell me if scanning works with Lion? I don't think HP will release 10.7 drivers as this printer is now 'discontinued'.


Thanks.

HI.

I just got my printer scanning on the network. It works from both my iMac and MacBook (wirelessly) and here's how:

1. GO to HP's website: www.hp.com and click on "Support and Drivers" at the top

2. Click on "Drivers and Software" on the next page

3. Search for the M1522 (I have a M1522nf) and click on the printer that you want

4. THIS IS KEY: When the list of OS comes up choose "Mac OS X" WITH NO VERSION EXTENSION - that is don't go to "Mac OS X 10.7"

5. Download and install the most recent version of hte driver. I ended up with:

HPLaserJetM152MFPseries1.4.0.dmg

6. Run the program and install the software.

You do not need to plug the USB cable into the printer if it is a networked printer.

7. You can then scan from "HP Director" - the program you've installed.


Image Capture doesn't work, you need to use the HP software, but so far that works well for me. I've done it on both my Macs.

Here is another problem with the HP1522nf driver, v. 18.4. My printer is set up to work on an Airport Extreme network, and via ethenet. Prior to the newest driver all printer functions worked without problem. With the new driver, when I turn off Airport, or unplug the ethernet cable, all printer functions stop working. However, if I turn the printer off and on (with the switch at the back of the unit), it re-intializes, and all functions work: print, fax, scan. Any suggestions on how to keep the 1522 on the network, or re-connect it, without the 'off-on' routine?
