So, the least problematic all-in-one with Snow Leopard is....?

Like many of you, I've had nothing but trouble with printing/scanning since installing Snow Leopard, and Lexmark has been no help at all with updating drivers. I've reinstalled their supposedly updated-for-S-L driver at least 10 times now, and I'm sick of it.
What's the consensus as to the least problematic printer/scanner to use with Snow Leopard?

I have a Canon at home and an Epson Artisan 800 at work. No problems at all with either of them with printing or scanning.
The Epson was a recent purchase so it's only run on Snow Leopard, but the Canon is over a year old and never had a problem after installing SL.

Setup HP L7580 all-in-one with Snow Leopard

Just got around to putting the HP L7580 on my network which has 2 brother HL-2070N laser printers. HP CD will not accept any info. Heard that Snow Leopard has its own drivers but not sure how to get L7580 on network.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

Good Morning,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
thank you.

Have you restarted holding down the Opt key? That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist. Then select the SL partition for boot. Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

One mac with lion one with snow leopard

If I transfer my mobileme to icloud on my desktop mac running lion, but my laptop only has snow leopard, will they still be able to sync as they did with mobileme?

The last iPhoto version you can run with Snow Leopard is iPhoto 9.2.4, and Yosemite needs iPhoto 9.6.
Move your photos to your Yosemite partition, if you want to use iPhoto with Photo Streams and other iCloud features.
As you are asking about Lion, you can run iPhoto iPhoto 9.2.3 or iPhoto 9.2.4 both with Lion and SnowLeopard, but there is no iPhoto version, that runs both on Yosemite and Snow Leopard, or Lion and Yosemite.

Can't scan or fax with HP6110 all-in-one using Snow Leopard

Since I installed Snow Leopard my HP6110 only works for printing. As a scanner or fax it is apparently is useless. Supposedly it will show up in Image Capture or Preview, but it does not. Any ideas?

Have you tried installing the Snow Leopard drivers from the HP website? If so, you should have the HP utility. Here is a link that might help. Towards the bottom are directions on how to access the utility.

Are Adobe, Epson, & Apple all in step with Snow Leopard?

In light of the Lightroom printing debacle when Leopard came on the scene, it would be really interesting to hear from others once they have experience of printing out of Lr onto Epson Stylus Photo printers under the new Snow Leopard OS; due out I believe on Friday.

FWIW, in response to the OPs inquiry-
I have updated from 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro to 10.6. I have an Epson R2880 (previously an R2400) with the latest 6.57 driver. I am using LR 2.4 (64bit) and CS4. I have been afflicted with the dreaded "dark prints" since the R2400 and LR 1.0. Immediately after the update, I opened LR and proceeded to print a sample photo from a preset used with Red River Arctic Polar Satin with the supplied RR icc profile. The printer dialog was NOT as expansive, "Printer Setup" was missing. I printed anyway, with the limited options, not being able to verify the options. The print left me awestruck. I have kept various samples from past experiments. This last photo was...stunning. It is a dawn landscape of the summer Maine coast. For the first time in my experience with LR and Epson, the print was accurate to the display. The colors are accurate and vivid. The detail in the foliage, flowers and rocks is much superior to the past samples. The ONLY difference in my process was the upgrade to 10.6! I was concerned with the difference in the print dialog. Reading this thread and others (including the Epson website), it was recommended to install Rosetta as part of the optional post installation. I did the install. The options (and previous selections) for the printer dialog REAPPEARED as with 10.5.8! I printed another sample of the same photo. It was happily identical. I then printer the photo in CS4 with the "same" setting. The print was identical to the LR print.
I am one happy camper.

Why doesn't the desktop 'snap to grid' work with Snow Leopard?

I've recently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard and I do a lot of work with photo folders which I keep organized on my desktop. Since upgrading the 'snap to grid' function in the view options of the desktop preferences has stopped working. For some reason the folders and files on the desktop keep snapping off the screen or on top of each other so that I cannot find them easily. I've had to turn off the 'snap to grid' and the desktop no longer looks organized and is not easy to navigate. Why is this happening? AND, how do I fix it? It seems to me the snap to grid shouldn't have gone out the window with an upgraded OS. I'm very organized and borderline OCD so this is FRUSTRATING me to no end!!!
Anyone have any ideas?

It's working for me in 10.6. Try moving this file in your Home Folder/Library to the trash -- don't empty it yet.
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
When finished go back to the Desktop>View Options and select Snap to grid.
If that doesn't do it, open Terminal in utilities and copy/paste this command, then hit return. Don't attempt to type it in by hand. If you make a typo or get the spaces wrong, there could be a disaster. When finished go back to the Desktop>View Options and select Snap to grid.
rm ~/Desktop/.DS_Store

My battery lasts only 3 hours or 4 with the new OSx Lion instead of the 6 to 9 that lasted with Snow Leopard

Anybody has the same problem?

Yes, same problem. There are a lot of people having the same issue, as noted in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3194235
Resetting the SMC has done nothing. I'm on a 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro running 10.7.1.
This is not good.

Does the latest macbook pro 13 come with snow leopard already installed?

?

A new MacBook Pro from the Apple store or online Apple.com will most likely have Lion 10.7 installed.

Is it possible to order an iMac specifically with Snow Leopard, in preference to Lion, say, by the end of this year (as a Christmas gift)?

I want to buy an iMac as a Christmas gift this year and wondered if it may be possible to specifically order one with Snow Leopard? By then I imagine all machines available for sale are likely to have Lion pre-loaded, hence my question.
If I could buy one now, I would, as there are many around still with Snow Leopard - but sadly I can't manage it just at the moment.
Thanks
Ross

Thanks folks, I realise this is just a user forum of course, I was just wondering if anyone had previous experience with buying a Mac with an older system on it at a time of changeover like this. A friend has just bought a new one from an Apple store this week with Snow Leopard on it - not surprising given the newness of Lion, but I was curious to know if anyone had experience with being given a choice during a system upgrade.
And who knows...maybe Apple do look in at the forums to see what people are asking????
Thanks

New Macs not shipping with Snow Leopard?

I just bought 2 Mac Minis for media playback use; I ordered them on 9/9 and figured they'd come with Snow Leopard (the Apple Store has a "ships with Snow Leopard" banner at the upper right, even).
However, they both shipped with 10.5.6 installed, and a DVD in the box also with 10.5.6 - no sign of Snow Leopard.
Any ideas on what's the best way to get this remedied? Visit a store, or phone support? I just spent 10 minutes clicking around support.apple.com but it kept sending me in circles.

Ha
I called support -- they did help me out, but it went like this
Me: Hi, I just ordered 2 Mac Minis, they said they'd come with Snow Leopard but when they arrived they had only Leopard
Support: do you have the Mac on right now?
Me: No, not now, but I do have serial numbers and order number
Support: Oh. Because a couple people have complained about that, and I was able to help them click on the Apple menu and say About This Mac and see that the version number was 10.6.
Me: Er, no, I'm not that [must... resist... urge... to... say... "clueless"...] ... hasty. I'm quite positive that the preinstalled version, and the only DVD in the box, was 10.5.6.
Support: Oh. I'm sorry. Well, have you heard about our up-to-date program? [http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate>
Me: Yes, but I'm not interested in paying $20 for stuff that was supposed to come with what I already ordered.
Support: It's not $20, it's $9.95.
Me: Right. And I need two of them. Sorry I was off by 10 cents, but I'm not interested in paying anything at all for this, actually.
Support: OK, let me look into this.
... long pause
Support: OK, and you've checked the entire box, and the version number, and it's not 10.6.
Me: Yup, quite carefully, a number of times now.
and then some more pauses, confirmations that I did check the installed versions, and apologies for the slip up, and they're sending me the upgrade.
So, in general, helpful, though this whole thing has been an extra set of hassles I wasn't expecting... Fight Club had it right, "the things you own end up owning you".

Ichat no longer works with snow leopard

i recently installed Snow Leopard on my macbook pro and ever since, when I try to open iChat, a window opens and says "You can't use this version of the application iChat with this version of Mac OS X. You have iChat 4.0.8. I thought that the new version would have installed with Snow Leopard. What do I need to do?

Hi,
Go to the Applications folder.
Do you have two versions of iChat in there ?
If so, Click on to Highlight it.
Use the Apple Key (CMD) and I key together (Get Info)
In the panel that pops up what version number is it ?
What is the version number of the other one ?
If one is iChat 5 and one is iChat 4, drag the current iCon for iChat Off the DOCK and let go. (Puff of Smoke animation)
Drag the iChat 5 icon to the DOCK (It does not move the App just links to it.)
If you only have iChat 4 then post back and let us know as there will be more steps.
Please note the time of my post as I may not reply for some time.

A fix for screensavers that don't work with Snow Leopard?

is there a fix for the screensavers that no longer work with Snow Leopard? some of the developers have came out with new versions, but a few of them have been abandoned by their authors. Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?

Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?
Not without action by the original authors, sorry.
I know it doesn't help right now, but like all other OSs in the past, these types of things need to catch up since the bar has been raised once again...give it time and there will tons of entertaining s'savers out to pick from.

Novatel Wireless Merlin X950D not working with Snow Leopard

I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard and my Merlin X950D 3G broadband card has stopped working.
When I insert the card sometimes it's detected but won't connect, sometimes it's detected but only after being inserted for some time (5 mins or longer) and still won't connect, other times it's just not being detected at all.
I've tried on a clean install of Snow Leopard using the built-in WWAN drivers and I've also tried with Novatel's drivers. In both cases I've tried booting Snow Leopard in 32 and 64 bit modes. Can't think what else to do; has anyone got any ideas?

I found a solution.
Download the older Novatel drivers (2.2.3) from this site:
http://www.nvtl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=174:macosxtiger -novatelevdo&catid=42:mac-installation-i
After a reboot, your modem will work fine. Something in the 3.0 drivers is incompatible with Snow Leopard.
