Sir/Madam

The latest HP printer driver for devices listed below are built into Mac OS X 10.6. You do not need to download or reinstall any HP software for full printing functionality.
HP LaserJet print drivers are included in Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and also available via Apple Software Updates.

Please Visit official HP Printer website Below Link URL:

What version of system are you using on your mac, it is probably snow leopard (10.6) or lion (10.7). In snow leopard you can run powerpc applications but you need to install the part of the system that runs rosetta however in lion you can not run powerpc applications at all. This web page tells you how to instal rosetta on snow leopard http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ This webpage at hp will also give you some information http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02911238&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=1153754&sw_lang= Hope this helps.

Hi,
Shortly after the world started upgrading to Snow Leopard, reports began emerging that many Hewlett-Packard printers were incompatible with the upgrade. So, you can wait till you get the updated driver which is compatible with Mac Snow leopard.
Good Luck!

try using the generic drivers. in Print & Fax, click on options and supplies, click on the Drivers box and type in GEN.. and choose the Generic drivers. Hope this works.

This is the best solution for that problem and works perfectly...

Make sure you have upraded to OS X 10.6.2 then download HP printer drivers for Mac OS X v 10.6.2 2.3 from Apple - Downloads - Firmware & Hardware - HP printer drivers for Mac OS X v 10.6.2 It worked for me.

Just posted a solution to this - but in case you haven't seen it, the story is that there is a note on the Epson support website for the SX515W saying that there is a known bug with the TCP/IP on Snow Leopard (not sure whether this is the same version as your Mac OS - but the problem sounds identical). Anyway, they suggest as an interim measure that you install a generic Bonjour driver (there are instrcutions on how to do this). Only thing I would add is that you will see that the new driver effectively shown up as an additional printer on your Mac. I found that you have to reassign this new printer as the default printer before it will work. Hope this helps. As I wrote before, I personally think that it iw pretty poor of Epson not to have this problem sorted by now - Snow Leopard has been out a long time now...

Ricoh directs all users to Apple to review this link (below)to determine if their Ricoh printer meets Snow Leopard compatibility.

Ricoh Printers Supported for Mac OS X v10.6

If you find that your printer is on the supported list,
then you can download the driver software for Snow Leopard on the Apple Support site.

Here is the Apple Support Link:
Ricoh Printer Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6

If you do not find your printer is supported, then unfortunately this driver download will not work for your printer in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I was having the same problems until I visited the HP website and realized that all of the hp software is incompatible with snow leopard. Here is the link to what HP says to do. JUST MAKE SURE TO UNINSTALL ALL OF THE HP SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER FIRST!!!

It worked like a charm for me.

You can only use your Airport with one OS at a time. If you have OS X using it, XP will be able to piggyback.
