Hi David,

Don't know if Michael's colleague tried it though.

HP are well known for taking around 6 months before they update  
their printer drivers for a new OS.

One of the reason I have never purchased a HP Printer.

I did some quick investigation and there is some Gutenprint drivers  
avaiable for this model printed. Shocked that there is no dedicated  
drivers for a relatively new printer! You can always try with the  
Gutenprint drivers, may have some success! :)

Afternoon Paul,

I did consider suggesting that but looking into that it is a very  
expensive high quality HP B&W laser printer so I'm sure Michael's  
colleague won't be keen on the option.

Thank you Ronni,

I think I'll quietly disappear from the office for 10 days or so.

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard

2009-10-05 Thread Ronda Brown 


Hi Michael,

Reverting to an older system is never pleasant, but if he backed up  
his Leopard System, before he installed Snow Leopard, it can be  
relatively straightforward.
A) If before upgrading to Snow Leopard, he created a bootable  
duplicate of his old Leopard System on an external firewire drive (or  
another volume).

Follow these steps below:

1. If he modified any documents while working in Snow Leopard,be sure  
to save a copy of these documents onto another volume before restoring  
your cloned system.


2. Startup your Mac from a volume "other" than the one containing Snow  
Leopard.
This can be the hard disk or partition where your duplicate system  
exists, or any other volume with a valid Mac OS X System.


3. Launch your backup program (such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy  
Cloner). Follow the program's instructions for making a bootable  
duplicate, choose the volume where the duplicate exists as the  
"Source". For the "Destination" (or Target), choose the volume  
containing Snow Leopard.


4. Start the backup.

5. When the backup finishes, choose the newly restored volume in the  
Startup Disk preference pane and restart.


Your computer should now be running your previous system again.

Cheers,
Ronni
