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.
