I just bought an AllinOne HP printer model Deskjet 1050 J410 series surprised when setting driver from attached CD not supporting old Macs with Power PC and version 10.4.11Went on P site with no success
Just wondering hwo (and why?) HP is disconnecting these models from their supported software and want to know if there is a turn around ?
Thanks

I could print after downloading software using this message from Matt Broughton in an other thread :
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The Gutenprint drivers do not support this printer. The HPIJS driver, however, show that they support this printer. You can download all you need at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs. Be sure to install all three packages -- Foomatic-RIP, Ghostscript, and the hpijs drivers.

It's a bit slowly but works with Word and Acrobat documents. I still need to check if scanning is also possible
That series of printers do work with a PPC Mac but require OS 10.5 or above:
Is there a software fro HP deskjet 1050 printers for osx 10.4.11 PPC
