When hooked up to my macbook pro running OS X 10.5.8 HP Photosmart C3180 goes through the motions of printing but does not dispense ink onto the paper. In short: will not print.
Re: Mac OS 10.5.8 HP Photosmart C3180 does not print
Exactly what I'm experiencing, it goes though all the motions, but no ink is on the paper. I just installed 10.5.8 last night on my Mac Pro. The drivers are up to date, but no ink hits the paper.
