Trying to get lexmark Z708 printer to work with Snow Leopard

I've just set up a friend's new Mac, using 10.6.4; he's moved from Windows with his Lexmark X708 printer. I can't find any Z708 printing drivers that will work with SnowL - not on the installation 'extras' on the dvd, nor on apple or lexmark's pages (the 708 driver for 10.4 on lexmark's site doesn't work). is there a workaround or do i have to persuade him to fork out yet more for a new printer?

There is a "Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Printing, faxing and scanning forum you just missed it.

  • How to get existing (Dlink) printer servers working with Snow Leopard

    I have a new macbook. We have two existing Dlink 1260 print servers serving 3 Windows machines. Both connect to our network via CAT5, we have a Buffalo router and cable modem service. One print server has a HP inkjet ands the other has a Canon inkjet printer. I know the IP addresses (static) and TCP ports of the two print servers. Apple's support people told me they arent trained to help me on print servers.
    How does one install these print servers in Snow Leopard 10.6?? I am out of ideas other than Geek Squad :>(

    I would imagine you need to connect via IP, LPD, put the IP address of the server in for Address and the Port Name in for the Queue.
    You will need Postscript drivers for the printers, based on info on the D-Link site.

  • How do I get the coupon printer to work with snow leapord

    I used to be able to print coupons with my computer, but ever since I updated to snow leapord, I can't print coupons even when I download the coupon manager.   Does anyone know how to get this to work again?

    How do you mean "work with" your PC? (I'm assuming you mean "PC" as shorthand for "Windows PC".)
    Do you want to attach the PC with an existing AirPort Express network? In that case, no special action is needed just because the network base station is an AirPort express.
    Do you want to use the PC to configure a new AirPort Express (or reconfigure an old one)? In that case, you need to download the Windows version of AirPort Utility.
    For Windows 7: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547
    For Windows XP SP3 or later: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1391
    Do you want to do something else? If so, please explain what.

  • Can't get HP Deskjet 3845 to work with Snow Leopard

    I have just upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard. My HP Deskjet 3845 printer will not work. I have tried installing the printer drivers included on the optional install section on the Snow Leopard Disc.
    Are there new drivers available for the HP Deskjet 3845, that will enable my printer to work?
    Thanks.

    Print drivers for the HP DeskJet 3845 (which is what this thread was originally about) are available through Apple Software Update (HP Drivers version 2.2), download from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907], or from [HP.com|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=m p-74669-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=372330&os=219&lang=en].
    If you're still having troubles, let me know.
    Just trying to help.

  • Old Appletalk Printer Stopped Working With Snow Leopard

    My old Apple 630 Pro Printer, which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of my Time Capsule station, used to work perfectly through Appletalk... till I installed Snow Leopard. No more Appletalk in Snow Leopard, the printer is gone.
    If I could find the IP address of the printer, I could probably add it this way. Does somebody know how to find the IP address of anything attached to the Station through Ethernet?
    I know that this one is not easy, and thanks in advance for any info!

  • Need printer driver (HP printer) to work with Snow Leopard:

    My Imac came with Tiger, and I recently had it upgraged (by Apple professionals) to Snow Leopard, but I need a printer driver for my HP Business Inkjet 1200. I got no help from HP. Any suggestions? (And I don't speak "computer-ese" so please spell it out in easy steps for this dinosaur. Thanks!)

    probably my misuse of 'best' - by 'best' I meant one that actually operates properly with full functionality.
    I have been using HP for a while and always find that there is one little bit of the app that does not work with Mac and in the past HP have always said 'oh well we don't design for Mac'.
    What I want to know is, what works properly ?

  • HP LaserJet P1005 not working with Snow Leopard

    Has anyone managed to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard 10.6? I have installed the latest drivers* from the HP website which BTW do not say they support 10.6 , see http://is.gd/2DfcE
    *Not sure exactly what the version number of the drivers is. The website says they are version 1.0.7, but when installed they show version 1.0.6
    I either get nothing coming out of the printer or an error "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly - This report will be sent to Apple automatically".

    From this web page:
    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue:
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, reset printing system as described below, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

  • My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

    My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update.  Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
    When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways. 
    It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since.  I've reset my printers, turned off both computers.  Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working.  Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    THanks in advance.

    Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
    If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

  • Printing Password NO LONGER WORKS with Snow Leopard!

    Ive searched this forum and most people have the opposite problem I do. They want to disable password requests when printing, but I want them!
    With Leopard, I was able to set up our networked color printer on every mac and students who logged in with their Active Directory accounts would then try to print but fail because they weren't part of the user group that were allowed to print to our color printer. When the password screen showed up, all I had to do was type in my account name and password, and the student's work would print. This was perfect for our lab set-up so we could supervise printing.
    However, with Snow Leopard, this feature no longer works. The password box pops up but it doesnt matter what name/password is inputted, anything will print. By anyone. Yikes. My IT is not too happy and Im trying to find a way to fix this.
    I saw Kiraly's tip on using Server Admin tools but it didnt work for us. Error 14071 something.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It could be falling back to Kerberos authentication, where passwords aren't needed every time. I'd suggest telling your IT people to disable kerberos on the Windows Server. If Windows is allowing users to access services with the wrong username and password, then that bug needs to be sent to Windows as a security vulnerability.
    Otherwise, if they narrow it down to a problem on the Mac side, tell them to submit a bug to Apple.

  • Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

    Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

    Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion.

    Well Lion does not support power PC applications.  They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.
