HP announces Leopard support

Posted by Dennis Sellers Apple ico Nov 13, 2007 at 10:25am

HP says it’s worked closely with Apple to ensure that customers will experience a smooth transition when using an HP peripheral and Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”).

HP says customers will enjoy full, built-in printer driver support for over 1,000 HP peripherals right out of the box, and it won’t be necessary to download or reinstall any additional driver software for print functionality. Additionally, for the first time, Apple will enable users to update and download HP drivers through Apple’s software update process.

HP continues to provide connectivity support for HP peripherals over any input/output (I/O) including USB, Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, plus Bonjour compatibility with Leopard. Additionally, HP cameras are plug-and-play with Apple’s iPhoto and Image Capture.

For HP peripherals with scanning features and/or HP Photosmart Studio software (including HP’s All-in-Ones, Photosmarts, Scanjets, Multifunction Printers and Cameras), HP plans to release software updates within 30-60 days that will be Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 compatible. HP has already released Leopard updates for these five HP Photosmart All-in-One models: C3180, C4180, C4280, C5180 and C5280. For additional info go here.
