When I upgraded to Tiger, I lost the ability to scan to my iMac G4 from the D135 because the driver didn't support 10.4. That didn't bother me much, since I don't use the scanner often at all.
Today, I went to print some images, and the print driver seems to have vanished entirely from my Mac. I went to HP's site and discovered there was a new driver (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?lc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=oj-35225-1) for the D135 that supported Tiger. Woo-hoo, right? wrong.

Well, I've tried Safari, Firefox, and Explorer, but I cannot seem to dl the driver from HP directly or via the link for D_731_EN.dmg on versiontracker. So now, I have an AIO that works fine as a color copier, and that's about it.

Ideas? (yes, I emailed a query to HP). I tried installing the driver from the CD that came with the printer, but it warns that my OS is not suported, and I cannot get the set up to complete.

Thanks for all of your effort. I really appreciate it.
