Is there HP software that will allow an Officejet 6500 E710n-z to work under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?

Question

My Macbook's currently running OS X 10.8.5 Mtn. Lion.  I've been hesitant to upgrade to Mavericks for fear of what it might break.  I just saw the
posting by HP employee Vanricker, "Update - HP Scan application - Grayscale fix - OS X 10.9 Mavericks", at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Update-HP-Scan-application-Grayscale-fix-OS-X... But it doesn't list the Officejet 6500 E710n-z.  It does, however, say it applies to the Officejet 6600 and 6700.  I'd have posted my question as a reply to that posting, but in the 8 months since that was posted, there have been 10 requests for further help that were posted as replies, and not a single one of them was answered.  So instead I'm submitting this as a brand new post in the hope that somebody knowledgeable at HP will notice my question.
Can the Officejet 6500 E710n-z work with OS X Mavericks?  If so, do I need to download new software from HP?  If yes, what's the URL for that software?

Answer 1

Yup, it will work with Mavericks.  Here is how I recommend you proceed:
Uninstall the existing HP software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Do not install specific HP software for your printer.  Scan from the printer using the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
