Snow Leopard is my 1st experience with a mac program (version 10.6.4) or a mac machine (mac mini) . I am running Cs4 and the sad "Blues" I have been singing to anyone who will listen to my lament, is about Snow Leopard "arrogance". It seems that the Apple Folks and Hp folks, maybe the Adobe folks are not on the same "page" or even care if they are on the same page! I am coming from a bullet proof printing set up using the HP B9180 (thank you Neil Snape) and a PC running the venerable Windows XP. That laptop went to "lappy heaven" and I bought the mac mini Jan,'10.
( btw, Neil did an awesome 'take" on the HP B9180 back about 5 years ago right here on LuLa.)
The kewlest thing about the software that shipped with the printer 5 years ago was a nifty PhotoShop Plug in....that made the workflow right outa Photo Shop and into the Printer..... well, almost that quik!! SnowLeopard does not like that plug in and does not offer up anything even basically similar. This is where HP dropped the ball, I know....but it makes it almost impossible to use the HPB9180 with the mac and Snow Leopard and the "update" feature so easily used on the mac.....*does not support this printers more "esoteric" needs.*(it seems like Hp gave Apple some very, very minimalist drivers for that B9180...pure crap!
2.) I went back to a windows machine (Vista) which accepted the printer software disc that shipped with the printer and now I print with my favorite Photo Shop Plug in...sigh, sigh........(sad, "blues sax" into a rainy New York "past midnite lament".)
Have any of you Guyz had to go away from Snow Leopard 10.6.4 to get yer printing "mojo's" back...to God Forbid, a Windows machine?? Still singing those "Snow Leopard Blues".
