Can't get HP Deskjet 3845 to work with Snow Leopard

I have just upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard. My HP Deskjet 3845 printer will not work. I have tried installing the printer drivers included on the optional install section on the Snow Leopard Disc.
Are there new drivers available for the HP Deskjet 3845, that will enable my printer to work?
Thanks.

Print drivers for the HP DeskJet 3845 (which is what this thread was originally about) are available through Apple Software Update (HP Drivers version 2.2), download from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907], or from [HP.com|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=m p-74669-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=372330&os=219&lang=en].
If you're still having troubles, let me know.
Just trying to help.

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion. 

  • Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
    Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
    Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
    If so, where can I get it?
    Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
    Philippe

    As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
    So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
    If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.

  • Trying to get lexmark Z708 printer to work with Snow Leopard

    I've just set up a friend's new Mac, using 10.6.4; he's moved from Windows with his Lexmark X708 printer. I can't find any Z708 printing drivers that will work with SnowL - not on the installation 'extras' on the dvd, nor on apple or lexmark's pages (the 708 driver for 10.4 on lexmark's site doesn't work). is there a workaround or do i have to persuade him to fork out yet more for a new printer?

    There is a "Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Printing, faxing and scanning forum you just missed it.

  • How can I get iLife for an older macbook with Snow Leopard?

    I have a 2008 macbook. I just got Snow Leopard and was told I don't have the specs to upgrade to Mountain Lion. When I upgraded, I lost my whole iLife suite (I think because it was actually just a trial or sample), but I can't buy the latest version of iLife because it requires Mountain Lion.
    I feel like Apple is trying to force me into buying a new computer, which really *****! They should offer support to all of their users, not just the most up-to-date ones....The whole reason I originally switched to mac was so that I wouldn't have to buy a new computer every few years!
    And before anyone suggests anything with disks, I don't have my original install disks. I'm living abroad and it was 5 years ago...
    Any suggestions?

    If you are unsuccessful in obtaining replacement disks for your Macbook you can purchase an iLife 09 disk for a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 09

  • Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

    I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

    According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
    These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
    Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
    If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
    Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
    If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
    Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
    In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
    If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
    When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
    You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
    To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

  • How to get existing (Dlink) printer servers working with Snow Leopard

    I have a new macbook. We have two existing Dlink 1260 print servers serving 3 Windows machines. Both connect to our network via CAT5, we have a Buffalo router and cable modem service. One print server has a HP inkjet ands the other has a Canon inkjet printer. I know the IP addresses (static) and TCP ports of the two print servers. Apple's support people told me they arent trained to help me on print servers.
    How does one install these print servers in Snow Leopard 10.6?? I am out of ideas other than Geek Squad :>(

    I would imagine you need to connect via IP, LPD, put the IP address of the server in for Address and the Port Name in for the Queue.
    You will need Postscript drivers for the printers, based on info on the D-Link site.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    I've reviewed all network, printer, phone settings

    airprint basic http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356  see if that printer is compatible.

    If it is not compatible then you will need to look at the appstore to find something compatible to be able to print.

  • Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

    I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
    Hey All,
    Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
    At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
    I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
    All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Ken
    I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
    7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
    I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
    Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
    I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
    Any suggestions?

    If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

  • What version of iLife works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and where can I buy it?

    What version of iLife works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and where can I buy it?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the latest version, iLife '11. It's available at the Mac App Store, but the versions available there aren't compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you have to get iLife '11 on a DVD at eBay or Amazon > http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES
    After installing it, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version for Snow Leopard

    According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion.  But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS.   It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.
