compatibility with third party applications and devices

I hope this helps printing to HP printers from Safari. Lots of problems with that.

What are you talking about? I have many clients on Macs who print to HP printers with no problems.

HP's Mac software for its multifunction printers was broken for a short time but they have a new download of the fixed version that works fine... it was posted on 6/13/2006

"it was posted on 6/13/2006"

I haven't downloaded a driver since early May I think. So I'll give it a shot when I go home.

I think HP multifunction printers were the only ones that were having problems on the Apple forums. From there I learned that setting the paper size to A4 mysteriously made it work and was my workaround.

Oh, and thanks for the tip!

Nice to see you on the Mac nerd thread....

Cheers, CC :)

Hey, good to see you, too!

Well I went to HP's web site to down load a new driver but found that only a few printer drivers have been updated. Some 6xxx and 7xxx updates but none for 61xx series which I have.

After the Mac OS X update I'm still have the Safari printing problem. Shoots out two blank pages, prints about a tenth of a page, then shoots out two more blank pages.

I'm going to try a manual uninstall-install of the current hp drivers now.
