Need assistance in using psc 1315v printer on snow leopard
My printer doesn't work on snow leopard. I tried the add printer in system preferences, but when I tried to add the printer it stated the driver is not available from apple, contact manufacturer. I then tried to reinstall my drivers from HP, but that didn't work. Snow Leopard recognizes my printer, but I am unable to add this printer, and if i am able to add this printer with the HP driver it won't let me printer.
There has to be a generic driver within the list of printers apple provides which will let me use the printing function of the printer. Do you guys have any recommendations regarding which driver is the generic one that will work?

"OK, this is partly my fault. When I first posted the instructions earlier in this thread, I thought that the print drivers for this device were already in Snow Leopard. As it turns out, only the scan drivers are there at the moment. The print drivers should be made available at some point in the future through Apple Software Update. In the meantime you might get some of the functionality back by installing the 10.5 drivers for your device. This method however is NOT supported by HP and as such is not recommended."

Printing using a 27" iMac in Snow leopard - is anyone able?
I can't. My HP Deskjet D1520 is not recognized by Snow Leopard. No amount of installing or uninstalling will make it show. HP keeps saying they are working on it.
If there is a cheap printer for just receipt printing that PRINTS IN SNOW LEOPARD on a 27" iMac, please let me know. I only want to print letters and receipts, not for color artwork or production.My *Epson Artisan 50* works perfectly with Snow Leopard. Drivers are all up to date for Snow Leopard. $85 at B&H PhotoVideo
By the way, HP does have a Snow Leopard driver for your printer --> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=e n&product=3568533# -
If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.
Uh uh, I see!
Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS -
I can't seem to manage to get logged into facetime on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. It keeps giving me the error of "the server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later" Well two days later its the same issue, can someone please help!! I see a lot of the fixes on here are for the upgraded operating system, and everyone seems to have had snow leopard work fine...why cant I!!! help the old school op system user PLEASE!! :-)
I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS. I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working. I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue. I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums. After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer. After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards. Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
Here's the solution which WILL work.
You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically. But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
Type in /etc and hit enter
You'll see a file called "hosts". Drag that file to your desktop.
Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below. Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one. After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

No drivers appear in printer set-up except for my Epson Perfection 1260 Photo Scanner.
Using HP Printer Utility does not recognize any print drivers I have installed in the past two days.
I tried using CUPS from the free source group and this printer is not supported in their list.
My printer worked perfectly in Leopard for printing receipts and memos.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John RNow it's been two weeks since I brought home a 27" iMac and realized that the iMac will not SEE my HP D1520 Deskjet printer any longer.
HP emphatically states that their website driver ffor my printer and for Snow Leopard works in their labs.
Apple emphatically states that the required driver for my HP printer is within the Snow Leopard installer.
And neither vendor will tell me why after repeated installs and uninstalls, and reboots, and permission/disk repair, changing USB cables out, WHY SNOW LEOPARD WILL NOT SEE MY PRINTER, but clearly sees my scanner and an Acrobat driver.
I had another unfortunate soul who's printer is unrecognizable by Snow Leopard to tell me they bought a new printer, and Snow Leopard saw the brand new printer. That's amazing, as my printer is less than a year old. So I guess I have to gamble and buy a new printer because apple upgrades the system and I can't install Leopard which worked perfectly with my printer.
Apple, you let me down, this time. -
Why won't Lexmark T430 printer with Snow Leopard?
Lexmark T430 will not printer with Snow Leopard. Error Message: “The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.”
The printer is connected via Ethernet from an iMac; I have an airport wireless network. Oddly, I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, but not from my desktop iMac. Both computers were upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time, but only the iMac refuses to print.
Tried:
-Reset printing system
-Downloaded Lexmark drivers and reinstalled them
-Connected printer directly to iMac instead of through the Ethernet switch
-Repaired disk permissions
When ‘adding printer’ the Lexmark is recognized and configured, but it only results in the same tired error message.
Suggestions will be appreciated.Hi,
A follow up on my previous report.
I installed 10.6 on an external USB drive and booted my iMac from there. Result: was able to print successfully to the T430, both via Ethernet and via USB cables. Previously, I also tried to print from the iMac (booted from the internal drive) via USB and that failed; although, as I said, I was able to print to a Canon printer. I conclude that there must be some conflict between the Lexmark drivers and something on my internal iMac hard drive.

I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard? What happens if I upgrade with just a 10.6 upgrade?

No iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, but I can pinch those off the 10.4 installer disk using Pacifist.
You can usually get those from the original grey installer discs that came with your Mac without bothering with Pacifist. Look for an 'installed bundled software' or similarly named item on one of those discs, generally the #1 disc. Run that & the original versions of those apps that were bundled with your Mac will be installed. Software Update will let you know if there is an update you can download for them (but of course that won't include an upgrade to a more recent major version, which you would have to buy separately). -
I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.
mpagan47 wrote: a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders.
Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to? Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock?
More then likely they are an alias that not longer point to the orginals, thus the question mark.
I would reboot. Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove. -

If your Mac meets these requirements:

then you can order a Snow Leopard disk and install it.

Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8
Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?
This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this. -
Need to Know: Support for HP P1006 Printer in Snow Leopard
Hi: Anyone out there using a P1006 printer on Snowleopard?
Just bought a new iMac. I have a chance to pick up an HP P1006 printer at a great price, but am unsure if driver support is built into snow leopard or if I must go to HP to download. I checked HP's site and they are very vague about the specific Mac operating systems they support with this printer model. I looked on Apple's doc pages and it was unclear whether the driver is already on snow leopard or I must download it. I'd love to know before I spend the money.
Thanks for your help! I truly appreciate any advice you can throw my way.
Stevehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 i'd look here first, if its not there some times manufactures make drives and for get to tell apple about it and they have the drivers on their web site. hope this helps

I just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and now my iCal 3.0.8 won't open at all. What version do I need to or should I upgrade to and where do I find it?
The version installed with Snow Leopard since iCal is part of OS X. If you are trying to use iCal from a different drive and version of OS X, then it won't work. If the installed version of iCal in Snow Leopard is the wrong version, then there was a problem. Delete the wrong version then reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
