Is there a Mountain Lion driver for HP Deskjet 5740?

I've been to the HP support site; they make it look as if they have a Deskjet 5740 driver for Mountain Lion, but when I get to the page where I'm supposed to be able to choose a download, I'm caught in this loop with "choose your connection" and an FAQ link, but no actual link to an actual driver download. Here's the page I keep being caught at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=357202&lc=en&cc=us&d lc=en
Is HP pulling my leg here? Is there a real, actual HP 5740 driver for Mountain Lion, or is it some kind of mythical thing? Almost all of my Google results end up pointing to the HP support/download site, but when I follow the links and click on the appropriate choices, I'm always routed to the link above, which claims to have a download link, but when I get there, there's nothing.
Thanks in advance,

Apple supplies all the drivers for printers that are supported in each version of OS X. If Apple doesn't have a drive for it in the Printer Driver Package then there isn't one and that is why HP has you in that loop.
One way to check it to open Print & scan then click the Add Printer, if there are no printers already in that section, or the Plus ( + ) sign at the bottom and then broswe for the printer and OS X will install the proper driver and software.

  • Lion driver for HP Deskjet 920c?

    I just found out that my old but reliable HP Deskjet 920c doesn't have a driver for Lion.  It works fine with my old Leopard PowerBook.  Is the HP Deskjet 920c likely to get a Lion driver any time soon, or am I out of luck?  I hate replacing a printer that works fine.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a mountain lion update for bash bug

    Just saw the ars tecnica security warning:
    http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/09/bug-in-bash-shell-creates-big-security-h ole-on-anything-with-nix-in-it/
    I am running OSX 10.8.5 -
    has Apple produced a patch for this version of the OS?

    Apple has promised an update for advanced Unix users (the only ones possibly affected are those running OS 10.9.5):
    http://www.imore.com/apple-working-quickly-protect-os-x-against-shellshock-explo it
    Advanced users who have OS X machines in a situation where they may be remotely exploited, such as systems administrators with internet-facing OS X servers, can mitigate the issue by recompiling bash with the official patches from GNU until Apple issues its own update:

  • I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

    You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's).  You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.
    Use this thread to find a method of copying the ML download into a USB drive to make other installations easier: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520

  • Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver software.  Which steps do I take to install new printer, old printer HP still on iMac.

    Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver, which installation steps do I take.  Old printer still on iMac.

    Hi Carol 22,
    Thanks for the post.  Depending upon the printer model, print drivers may be available from ASU.  If not, then go to hp.com and download Mt. Lion drivers to your iMac.  After you complete the hardware setup of the printer, if connecting wireless, then connect the printer to your network and then complete the installation and add the printer.  Then you can go back and remove your old printer.  I hope this helps...Good Luck!
    I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own....Thank you!

  • Is there any Mountain Lion software that can do what Appleworks could

    Is there any Mountain Lion software that can do what Appleworks could like drawing, painting, etc.?  I find that Pages is very limited compared to earlier software or am I missing something?  If Pages doesn't have this capability, what software can I get that does????

    Hi,
    Windows has a function called Narrator. Narrator reads what is displayed on the screen, including the contents of the active window, menu options, or text that has been typed. Narrator is designed to work with Notepad, WordPad, Control Panel programs, Internet Explorer,
    the Windows desktop, and some parts of Windows Setup, and may not read words aloud correctly in other programs.
    For more information, please refer the following link:
    Turn on and use Narrator
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-xp/help/use-narrator
    In addition, based on my research, a kind of third party program named JAWS. You could know well it first, and then decide whether you want to buy it.

     Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
    Do a Safe Boot.
    Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
    Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
     I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

  • Is mountain lion free for lion users

    is mountain lion free for lion users

    Keep in mind, as soon as that's offered, if it is offered, that's the time buy from a store a Lion installed Mac.  That way, in event you have Lion compatible software which hasn't been tested with Mountain Lion, at least you'll have the option to stick with Lion until Mountain Lion is ready for you.  So keep your eye on http://www.apple.com/pr and http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ once summer begins.  Apple has offered up to date programs for a long time, typically up to three weeks prior to the release date, and given you a chance to know when the release date is.  If you order online though, and they are out of stock, you may be stuck with a Mountain Lion only compatible machine.  An authorized Apple retailer should be able to carry at least some models through http://www.apple.com/buy/ so check their stock at that time for what you desire.

  • HT2474 I did a clean reinstall of mountain lion and for some reason the dock keeps osx lion format

    I did a clean reinstall of mountain lion and for some reason the dock keeps osx lion format. Does someone how to uptade only dock application?
    Tks

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
    You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Mac OS 10.7.5 Printer driver for HP Deskjet 895Cxi

    I gather there is no printer driver for this printer for OS 10.7.5.
    Can one use the printer driver shown on this link for OS 10.5?    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=59306&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    Thanks

    Hi Hal 17.
    No, the installation will fail by using the drivers for 10.5, the printer is incompatible with Lion:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01856359&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    However you may give a try to the 3rd party HPIJS print drivers, those seems to support the printer and compatible with Lion.
    Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads prior adding the printer by selecting the driver by HPIJS:
