I have a question for anyone who has Leopard and HP Inkjet printers, do you still have the HP IO Proxy and Proxy 2 running under Rosetta?



It shows up in Activity Monitor as a PowerPC app on my MacBook under Leopard 10.5.1



I thought we were supposed to have all Universal drivers from HP after the upgrade. Did I do something wrong, or have they not updated it?



Thanks.

    I guess it depends on your model, as most have different drivers. My HP Photosmart C4280 has all Universal drivers and utlities. Have you downloaded the latest software from HP? It won't auto-update for you.

    I have the 6980 Inkjet which is using the HP 4.0.2 driver.



    Anyone seeing this?



    Teedoff, thanks for the info.

    ...



    HP tells you that the driver for your printer is included with the default install of Leopard.

    Yes, I know that and checked to make sure that it was loaded. But as I stated in my OP, I thought that these were supposed to be Universal apps, instead I find the Proxies running under Rosetta. I was wondering if you, or anyone else knew anything.

    So you think a member of this forum might be holding out on HP?
