Q: HP8750 printer no longer compatable with OSX?

Has anyone else had the problem with HP8750 printer (or other power PC Application) no longer compatable with OSX? Apple tells me to go to MFG of printer - and HP says they no longer support that printer.

But the printer still works well. Is there a work around or third party that upgrades the driver?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

If the printer you mean is the HP Photosmart 8750, then it is still supported by the Photosmart 8700 Series driver. Shown here:
Printer and scanner software available for download for your Mac - Apple Support

You may need to delete and add the printer or, Reset the Printing System and then Add the printer, in order to get the latest driver to automatically be loaded.
