I'm running os x lion andwant to print to my new wi-fi printer HP Photosmart 6520 but I get an error message that I need 10.6. Can I upgrade to 10.5 and 10.6 and at what cost?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't need 10.6 because you are running a newer Mac OS X version and because your printer is supported in Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669#HP
As it looks like you want to set it up wirelessly, follow these steps to add the printer to OS X > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670 You don't need any driver for wireless printing, but OS X will install the printer driver to work with the scanner
What computer do you have? Snow Leopard, 10.6, requires an Intel processor. Go to the menu/About this Mac and it will tell you the processor. Here are the requirements for 10.6.
System Requirements
Mac
Mac computer with an Intel processor
If you have an Intel processor, you can go straight to 10.6.
FYI:
Hi,
If you have Lion as you mentioned (OS X 10.7), your system meets the system requirements for the printer,
Try installing the drivers below and check if that may help getting the issue resolved:
