Mac OS X 10.2: Difficulty Using Hewlett Packard Printers

Symptom

Various issues when using an HP printer.


Note: Users of the 1220c series should see technical document 107208, "Mac OS X 10.2: Cannot Print After Installing Deskjet 2.0 Drivers".

Solution

Download and install the latest drivers for Mac OS X from the Hewlett Packard Web site (http://www.hp.com/).

HP 2.0 or later drivers address these issues:

• faster printing from all modes (benefits primarily Mac OS X 10.2)
• more stable printer communication
• ability to save more than 1 preset (Mac OS X 10.2 only)
• digital photography options (applicable printers only)
• 2400 by 1200 and 4800 by 1200-enhanced printing (applicable printers only)
