This site offers a diagnosis, and the a fix, for the HP printer problems; I haven’t tried it.

I read the forum on Snow Leopard a few days ago. There were 18 pages of gripes and growing. I also discovered that Calibre does not work on Snow Leopard. I think I will wait, this thing is not ready for prime time.

I guess you are right. I was able to get 3 prints out of them and that’s it. Now it’s back to the same behavior.

Those drivers on the UK site do not work with 10.6… Just tested them and same behavior as those drivers downloaded from other HP sites…

My Snow Leopard disk has arrived yet, but I was thinking about waiting a few weeks for bug fixes in any case. I do have a HP Photosmart 2610 xi printer, though I don’t need it a lot.

Good to hear Fusion works without issues, I use that for VPN.
