Version Confusion & Driver "Upgrade"

Feedback Type:  Usage Tip

Contributed by: chrisnewham Monday, February 19 2007 @ 12:04 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

The version that I downloaded from this link is 2.7.1 (which is not listed in the above "Product Version" menu). HP's site has no reference to v 3.3 and states it no longer provides it's driver directly, saying the latest version is embedded in Tiger.

My experience with the embedded version is reduced functionality, e.g. I cannot find a draft mode. So I deleted the printer queue as instructed and installed 2.7.1 - it works but with same limited functionality. An unintended consequence is that the Tiger-embeded driver can no longer be found in the printer set up utility.

(I've had a lot of value from this printer so I do recommend HP DeskJet. Because the version numbering and transfer to a Tiger embed is screwed up. I give a poor rating to v 3.3)
