Printer driver for HP Deskjet 930C in OS X v10.6.5?

Just bought our first Mac, an iMac with OS X v10.6.5.
Trying to connect an old HP printer (previously used with a computer running Windows). HP's site has drivers through OS X v10.4, claims that the drivers are included with OS X v 10.5 ("just connect the printer"), says nothing about OS X v 10.6. Just connecting the printer does nothing ... under Add Printers there's no "More Printers" button.
Should I download and use the v10.4 drivers?

HP has dropped support for the DJ930C with OS X 10.5 and following. (Yes, they said that there were drivers included in 10.5. No, the drivers didn't work.) If you want to use that printer with OS X 10.5 or later you should go to <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpij s%23Printers> or <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php>. The boys at the HPIJS Project and Gutenprint, respectively, have 3rd-party drivers which actually do work, and work better than the official HP drivers ever did. The HPIJS drivers are PostScript clone drivers, and give very good output, and were mostly written by HP personnel. Why HP didn't use them instead of the official drivers is something you'd have to take up with HP.

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:

In need of Printer drivers for HP Deskjet 930C for Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise?

Have been Online in HP support and folllowed all steps and that didnt work. Called HP rep and that didn't work. Hp still sell the cartridges, so not sure why I can't get drivers for my printer.

You may need to talk to your system administrator. Many IT departments restrict what drivers or devices can be added by standard users.
If the driver is not available try the following: Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, LPT1: (for now, will address this later), Next, Windows Update and wait for the list to repopulate. This will take a few minutes, but at this time the Deskjet 930/932/935 should be available under manufacturer HP (not Hewlett-Packard). At this point hit cancel, then connect the printer's USB and it should be installed automatically.
You could also download the driver from the Microsoft Catalog site. You will need to use IE for this, other browsers are not supported. The driver you will want for a 32 bit system is the one 11.4Mb in size.

I need a printer driver for my Deskjet 1220C to use on Windows 8

How do I get a printer driver on my computer that uses Windows 8. It is a HP Deskjet 1220C

The Deskjet 1220 driver was written by HP and is supplied through Windows Update. AFAIK it has been available since Windows 8 was originally released.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,
Alina M

Is there a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for an HP PSC 2355?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I know this is very old {don't laugh}, but I was looking for a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for my recently purchased HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer.
I run OS X 10.5.8 on an Apple iBook G4 and also run a Mac OS 9.0.4 emulator on it called SheepShaver. Trouble is SheepShaver will only run up to Mac OS 9.0.4 and the HP PSC 2355 minimum drivers are for Mac OS 9.1.
I would love to be able to print from SheepShaver and the scanner features are unimportant to me under Mac OS 9.
Are there printing drivers (even from a different, but compatible printer) that would allow me to print from this printer under Mac OS 9.0.4?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
When you say you recently purchased the PSC 2355, i believe this is a very old printer.
I am not sure on how the SheepShaver works but we do have the printer driver available for 10.9 on hp.com. The first link mentioned below will take to the product page. Rest all are some of the InkJet and DeskJet drivers.

Need driver for hp Deskjet 3050A J611 series on a pre-Intel Imac

Looking for a printer driver for a HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series printer for use on a Pre Intel IMac

Newer drivers for older hardware runs into trouble. Had that problem with HP
over several systems and models of Mac. Sometimes if the printer and OS X
isn't too obsolete, drivers could be tried in one printer intended for a similar one.
The original installer CD for printer software drivers and extras is always a good
thing to keep, so long as there is a printer or a computer on-hand that may use it.
it's a matter of communication
Recent upgrade with newer computer & OS X, has me looking at printer drivers
and a suggested download from Epson of 1.3GB was not really adequate nor
was it necessary; but some 'expert' at Geek guys showed me a web site on his
Smart phone. The real problem was a USB cable to an AIO printer. The other
older printer could not use the 'correct driver' for the newer OS X, in same D/L.
Planned obsolescence is such a joy. Even when a product is almost bulletproof,
someone wants to sell something else. 'Profit-driven' tends to waste resources.
Cheap hardware & costly consumables. Wait til they charge us for good Air...!

Hp photosmart 7350 Printer Driver for Windows 7

I can't seem to locate a Printer Driver for my HP photosmart 7350 printer. Hp states the driver for the HP deskjet 5550 should work, but it doesn't. I just bought a new computer and was hoping not to have to buy a new printer.

Hey farhanchd,
What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?
There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.
I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer. Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

Can't find a printer driver for LaserWriter Select 360?

My older G4, which I just upgraded from OS 9.2 to OS X10.3.9 (I was reluctant to leave PageMaker), doesn't have a printer driver for my Apple LaserWriter Select 360. It finds my Epson 2200 with no problems. I've tried two shareware programs. The first seemed to say that Apple Printer Drivers were missing and that it had reinstalled them (but I don't remember the name. I found it in one of the threads here). But there was no sign of the LaserWriter when I tried to print. The second program I tried was Pacifist, figuring I could just reinstall that one printer driver from the Panther disks. But I couldn't see it anywhere though there was two Epsons, Hewlitt Packard and others. I tried the Apple website, but had no luck. I know there is one because two other computers we have in OS Xs can recognize the printer. Is there a driver out there I can download or is there someway I can get it off the other computer I have that is in 10.3.9? It's really frustrating to have to transfer the regular stuff I want to print to another computer.
Thanks!! Jane
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

We're halfway there...maybe! The printer shows up on the list, but when I try to print something (I tried an InDesign file, also a Word one), the computer sends the file and the printer starts, but then puts the job on hold (the green light on the printer never blinks). If I click Start Job, the same thing happens again.
When I looked at Help and found "Setting up to print to an IP Printing network printer," it said to "type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Printer Address field." I looked through my "User's Guide" and didn't know what that was. It wouldn't let me "ADD" the printer without one so first I typed in the whole name of the printer that was on the list below. Then it let me ADD, but not print. Then I tried it again with the word "home." Same thing, it added the printer but wouldn't let me print.
One other question I had was when I got to the Add Printer, IP Printing, I had to choose a "Printer Type." It was on LPD/LPR so I left it. I didn't know what any of the choices meant. Perhaps that was wrong.
Now that the LaserWriter is on the list, can we make it print?
Thanks so much, Jane

Is there a univeral printer driver for HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP on Windows 7 64 bit?

I had bought a HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer last year - up to now I could print out via the computer of my doughter (Windows XP), but now this computer is bugged and I would like to be able to use also my own Windows 7 64 bit Computer. Unfortunately the "Full solution" does not work at all, while there also appears to be no Universal Printer Driver for my special printer. In other words: I can´t use the printer and I am upset (HP at its best?).
Is there any way to get a printer driver that does what it is supposed to do?
Despaired...

Have you tried downloading and installing the drivers from here?

I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC. I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you. Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section? For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.
