Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard
Afternoon Michael, 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! :) Thanks David Moyle Systems Technician Apple, Windows, Cisco -- Western Australia Mb: 0427 888 257 On 06/10/2009, at 10:41 AM, Michael Hawkins wrote: My colleague with the one year old HP Laserjet printer P2014N which will not work now that Snow Leopard has been installed on his latest model iMac wants to uninstall SL and reinstall Leopard.

Would it be safe for him to back up his work on the SL drive to the Leopard drive?

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard
Maybe rather than trying to go back to the previous system to accommodate the HP printer's redundancy, it might be a much safer and simpler route to bite the bullet and spend a hundred bucks or so on a nice shiny new Brother laser printer to recover former happiness.

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard
Afternoon Paul, I did consider suggesting that but looking into that it is a very expensive high quality HP BW laser printer so I'm sure Michael's colleague won't be keen on the option.

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard
Hi David, I suggested this back in my email Re: HP LaserJet driver on 02/10/2009 9:55AM. Setup via Static IP address using the HP JetDirect Socket Protocol and the HP LaserJet P2010 - Gutenprint v5.2.4 drivers. 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.

Uninstalling Snow Leopard
My colleague with the one year old HP Laserjet printer P2014N which will not work now that Snow Leopard has been installed on his latest model iMac wants to uninstall SL and reinstall Leopard. Can that be done by simply installing Leopard as the OS? His iMac has two internal hard-drives, on only one of which he has installed SL. Would it be safe for him to back up his work on the SL drive to the Leopard drive?

Re: Uninstalling Snow Leopard
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.
