I have a DNP DS80 photo printer that I was told cannot be used with Snow Leopard because of the interface issue with USB devices on Mac Book Pro. I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard recently, and after it the print link to Mac Book Pro was disabled. Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), DNP is the manufacturer of printer
By print link do you mean in the print dialog box it isn't there or can't be selected? This link http://www.dnpphoto.com/downloads/DS/DS_drivers_mac_install_20110526r.pdf says to delete any old drivers and reinstall.
Dave, Thanks for your kind reply. I found out that Apple does not support this printer yet. Meanwhile, I have to downgrade my OS from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Leopard version 10.5.6. I need help with this downgrading process because when I load the disk for OS 10.5.6 (Leopard) the message comes up telling me that I cannot load this software in my laptop (Mac Book Pro). I don't know if I have to erase Snow Leopard before loading Leopard, or do something else. I have to tell you that the Leopard disk did not come with Mac Book Pro (it's original OS was Tiger), it is the disk for my iMac G5 and I wonder if it can be used for the laptop. Can you advise!

You're very welcome. No, the disk (gray, right?) for your iMac won't work on your MBP. It's G5 (not Intel) and it's iMac not MBP. You will need to get a retail Leopard disk, which looks very pricey doing a Google search. Apple site doesn't list them for sale. Someone else might know of a better deal.
