Where does the version # 7.9 show up? Each file in the various folders, after the download, has a diferent version #, but none have the version # of the download file. Also, the Photosmart Studio apps, do not work om my Quicksilver Mac running MacOS 10.4.7.
Documentation would help - Version: 7.3.1, 8/4/2005 10:38AM PST

Having bought as PSC 2410 in an Apple store, and been pleased with HP products in the past, I have been somewhat disappointed in the sketchy support and development of the Mac OS X drivers for this device.
<p>
This release of driver software comes with no documentation. However, it appears to do away with the All-in-One Director, and well as other dock-based features. Further, it appears to set up and function quite differently from the previous drivers, in that while looking at a Poweroint presentation, it doesn't allow me to select normal printer paper for a two up gray-scale printout. Instead, I get "photo paper" options. This may be "operator error," but how am I to know with no documentation?
<p>
An additional peculiarity is that HP has released two IDENTICALLY named driver disk images, both upwards of 90MB in size, but one for 10.2 and greater and the other for 10.1 and OS9. This is both confusing to the user, and, I expect, to their own support staff, who will, when helping a user, ask for the name, but also will have to ask the exact size, of the application in order to verify the correct driver distribution for a user.
<p>
Most peculiar....

As is usual with drivers/software for the Mac from HP, this driver is absolutely terrible. It works intermittently, constantly loses track of the printer, and is an unnecessarily huge download (I mean, c'mon, 100Mb for a printer?) - the only reason I use it is because I didn't really have an alternative until I discovered that VueScan supports the HP scanner built into the printer just fine.
So, I would recomment skipping this download entirely, using the Mac OS X built-in drivers for printing, downloading VueScan for scanning, and the other function of the printer is basically its card-reader (which is natively supported by OS X anyway).
