HP Designjet printers - Updating HP Software
to Support OS X 10.7 Lion
Introduction
With the release of OS X 10.7 Lion, HP is providing updated print drivers and software.
These updates will be available through Apple Software Updates in Mac OS X.
After the public release of Lion, HP will release updated full HP software packages for many
models on the
HP Designjet Support page. The schedule delay allows time for full testing
and quality assurance from HP against the final OS X 10.7 release.
Important: Older HP software might not be compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion. After
installing OS X 10.7, you might experience some problems if you install previous Mac OS X
10.3, 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6 software, either from an original product CD or from HP Web
downloads. This is expected behavior because the software is designed for operating
systems previous to OS X 10.7.
