  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I enjoyed the psc 2210xi with OS9 but when I went to OSX the trouble started. hasn't worked right since! Not w/ 10.1 thru 10.3.2. Drivers from new to 6.3.4 - none worked right Works fine in OSX Won't work in Calssic.. Unfortunately, I still have a number of 9 native apps. tried every new driver as it came out and talked to tech support. They really seem out to lunch. didn't acknowledge reality of problem, just sorta muddled around w/ 100 questions, and no real answers. Tempted to get cheap printer until problem solved. Anybody sorted out problem?

• This driver is poor

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It is unbelievable that a company like hp dares to provide SW of such quality under its name. 1) I question that it is necessary for a SW of such functionality to consume 46.1 MB. 2) The way the SW installs on my computer is very importunately. 3) I still have to work to find a way to set-up the SW in the way I want it. E.g., it is not obvious for me how to get rid of the dock icon after restart. Removing if from the start-up items didn't work. I don't want to dive into Unix for this. 4) I don't like the way how the functionality has to be accessed in the GUI. E.g. Scan picture and scan document leads to the same window. Also: all this crap about hp gallery, send scanned document per e-mail and so on. I don't need it. Result: Maybe hp sells good printer hardware at a competitive price. But the driver SW is ridiculous - at least for Mac.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The drivers, once installed seem to run fine. The annoyance, is all the extra junk that gets installed...various 'directors' and managers that seem tied to the main drivers. I can't be bothered to find out by trial and error which components I can delete and which ones I can't. Hasn't anyone told HP that iPhoto exists? Also, appears to be no evidence of the change list anywhere, contrary to what HP says on the VT listing here.

• Won't detect printer

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Exact same problem as Normal1. Tried everything to get this to detect the printer. So irritating as version 6.0.5 worked fine before HP 'suggested' I upgrade. Now even the old version won't install. Sent reports to HP twice but they don't even bother to answer. Poor indeed. One star for the fact I can at least still print.
