"Not Up-To-Date with Gutenprint Drivers!"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.5.2
Pros
Some useful driver updates.
Cons
Apple continues to drag its feet updating to the latest Gutenprint drivers.
Summary
What upsets me about ALL of Apple's driver updates is their annoying refusal to keep up-to-date with the latest stable Gutenprint drivers. This is, IMHO, entirely RIDICULOUS. Thus my mere 2 star rating.
The current stable version of Gutenprint drivers is v5.2.6 from August 2010. Meanwhile, Apple stubbornly remains stuck back on v5.2.3 from early 2009. WHAT?! 2009?!
I personally recommend checking out the latest stable version of the Gutenprint drivers and, if you find a useful driver in the update, INSTALL IT on top of Apple's ye olde out-of-date Gutenprint drivers.
Come on Apple! Catch up with modern world Gutenprint already!

"Still dogging after update"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Since upgrading to snow leopard my HPDJ6540 has been SLOW!! Not the actual printing but the staging, or transfer from computer to printer. We're talking 80 seconds to set up one page of plain text! Before upgrade this all happened within seconds... I thought this latest driver upgrade would help but... no... -
"Does not work"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I, too, had the last minute hang and not go anywhere, but I left it alone for several minutes while tending to my grandaughter, and found that it had finished in the interim. However - even though my printer/copier/scanner was listed, it still does not copy or scan. So for me, I will continue to use my Canon scanner. Very sloppy quality control testing, if any was done at all. HP has consistently let me down. Not sure I will purchase another product from them. -
"Installer hangs, runaway process, fans,"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This exact scenario happened with my attempt at installing. I have four friends, one of whom used to work at an Apple Store--same issue. This is obviously not an isolated event as even a previous commenter added weight to this.
I got a PACE kext repeating dialog and a runaway process with fans a blazing. I not only had to force-quit the installer, but had to reboot as well to get rid of a continuing repeating loop of pop-up errors about an badly installed kext.
I gave it one more shot and rebooted into safe mode, logged into a freshly created admin account--same deal. Had to force-quit the installer--which didn't end the repetetive pop-ups.
Obviously this is a problematic update that needs fixing.
It still frankly amazes me, and don't get me wrong, I still drink the Apple Kool-Aid, but I've been amazed how easily the Windows updates go in general, considering they are on a huge installed base of "machines of mystery" of an infinite variety of configurations not owned by Microsoft.
Apple owns, develops and maintains it's own installer base that includes a much smaller number of KNOWN machines (machines of no mystery)--and yet we are so often plagued with bad install issues like this. You'd think this would be the opposite experience in "mac world."
Owning a Mac is about simplicity in your computing life, not having to be a "smart Mac person" who knows for example, not to use the automated "Software Update" but rather to download a huge combo-update, boot into safe mode, repair permissions, install, re-repair permissions etc.
You can do much much better than this Steve Jobs. Take your eyes off your bottom line and live up to what Bill Gates said about you when he said you were "doing good things..." There's nothing wrong with "doing good things" after you've sold someone something too. We're moving into a more and more re-purposed world that tries to keep technology out of the landfill just a little longer. -
"HP Drivers"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Went to the trouble of installing this, and My HP 4100 series all in one, still will not scan under Snow Leopard. Nor will it work with all the short cuts (offensively offerred on the Apple website). I am not looking to figure out who to blame. Snow Leopard is a popular and well deployed system, the HP all-in-ones are also well sold and widely deployed. GET THIS FIXED!! -
"Breaks scanner on AIO products"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 2.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'm using an HP Protoxpart C6180, and after installing this upgrade, the scanner function does no longer work. I reverted to HP_Installer_PSC6100_v9.7.1 from HP and works as expected -
"No issues so far"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
At least none that have shown up with a few printouts and media mounts. We'll see once I get a few days on it.

"Installs ok for directly connected printers"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Software update correctly figured out that I had a 4050 directly connected to my mac pro and only installed the 52mb driver required for it. The update was fine. However, for my MBA and mac Mini that print over my home network, I had to download the jumbo update from apple.com. Software update did not recognize the print queue set up on those machines I guess since it over bonjour.
I was glad to get the update. -
"Updating process"
Version: Apple HP Printer Drivers 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It came up on Software Update about 5 minutes after it appeared on MacUpdate and Apple's Downloads, but it's OK.
