OJ 8500 OSX Snow Leopard & Lion

Is anyone successfully using an OfficeJet 8500 with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, 10.7x Lion and iPad to print wirelessly?
Wireless printing all worked fine using only 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on both the MacBook Pro laptop and Mac Pro desktop computers and an iPad. It all stopped working after updating one of our two Macs to 10.7 Lion (the other Mac is still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard). Not ready to make the switch to Lion on the desktop computer yet, but will upgrade to Lion on that computer too if it will fix the wireless printing problem.
Exact printer I am using = HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A plus eAiO A910g.

As long as the printer is connected to your router, they should all work.
First, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907  It is for both 10.6 and 10.7
Next, reset the printing system on all Macs:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or 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 a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

  • I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
    Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.

  • I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?

    I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?
    I got the macbook from a friend a few years ago and it already had OSX Lion installed. Whenever it boots from the Snow Leopard disc it says it cannot install from disc. Is there anythingI can do or should I take it to an Apple store to get them to boot OSX Lion for me?

    Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart, press and hold the C key as soon as you hearthe startup chime, hold C until you see the Apple Logo. When your computer starts up you'll be at the first install screen, choose your language and click the arrow to go to the next screen. This screen has a menu bar, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility, select your hard drive, this is the one with the manufacturers name or numbers, click the partition tab and then delete any existing partitions by selecting them and clicking the minus. In the drop down box select one partition and click apply. Name your hard drive and click erase. When it's done quit DU and go back to the installer, install Snow Leopard. When the installer is done and the computer is back up and running run Software Update to get to 10.6.8

  • Can Mail in OSX Lion be setup to operate visually as in OSX Snow Leopard?

    I would like to upgrade to Lion when it comes available, but I also am very used to Mail as it appears in OSX Snow leopard.  Can I keep the visual format for Mail in the new OSX Lion

    Nobody who knows is allowed to disclose such details.
    Lion will be released soon, apparently. Patience.

  • Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud

    Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud settings in System Preferences, why?

    I have the exact same issue, and no Profiles for me under System. My system was upgraded from 10.6 as soon as Lion came out and I've never had the icon.
    I have had iCloud set up by creating an account within Mail, Contacts & Calendars - but in this setup my Mobile Documents folder, my iCloud "Documents and Data", never synchronized with my other devices. That is why I began wondering why I don't have the iCon as I have seen other Macs that came with 10.7 installed factory.

  • How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from osx lion to osx snow leopard

    I have MacBook with osx Lion and I need transfer my user acount to another mac computer (Mac mini) because my MacBook was broke and I send it to service. On Mac mini I have osx Snow Leopard. Is possible to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from osx Lion to osx Snow Leopard?

    Sorry, but there's no way to "go back" with Migration Assistant.
    Can you upgrade the Mini?

  • Our imac runs osx snow leopard but it cant find the hard drive or it is corrupt, is it possible to reboot it with osx lion?

    our imac recently displayed the white screen and flashing file icon with a question mark on it, it runs osx snow leopard but i dont have the installation disc, can i reboot it off the osx lion disc? or do i need to buy the snow leopard disc and reboot it off that first.  thanks for your help in advance!

    Yes you can. If the iMac meets the system requirements for Lion then you can boot it off the Lion disc (which is actually a USB drive, unless you download and burn it yourself).

  • Migrating OSX Snow Leopard to OSX Lion machine

    I have a Macbook Pro and a shiny new Macbook Air i& 13" - now I tried the migratin assistant BUT it never finishes  - never. I have the machiens connected together with an ethernet cable and they see each other and the mnigration start and never completes. It gets stuck at the point where it says something like "just under 1 minute to go". I am tearing my hair out and have tried everything.
    Macbok Pro has OSX Snow Leopard and the Macbook air has OSX Lion - I want to migrate data, applications, users and settings over to my new Macbok Air.
    Any help appreciated.

    Start with Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. If still no go, contact Apple Service or Apple's Express Lane.

  • HT5225 I have Mac OSX snow leopard , which I think is OSX10.6.8. I did as I was told and migrated to icloud having advised that not all devices were up to the Lion. I now find that the mobile phone receives the emails and so does the ipad, but not my desk

    I have Mac OSX snow leopard , which I think is OSX10.6.8. I did as I was told and migrated to icloud having advised that not all devices were up to the Lion. I now find that the mobile phone receives the emails and so does the ipad, but not my desktoptop. I have received an email from apple saying I would be able to receive the emails. Why cant I?  What do I have to do ? Surely it is not necessary to buy another upgrade???

    10.7.2 is required for full iCloud facilities, but you can still use your email. In theory you should be able to access your email in Mail at the same server settings, but this hasn't worked for everyone: you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Once migrated, your mail will also be available at http://icloud.com
