Thank you, I just printed a test page and it worked flawlessly. Now all I need is for Apple to update Pages and Numbers for the iPad (so that I can print), and release AirPlay for the Apple TV, and I'll be happy.
This is good news (same macbook as you).
I haven't done any tests, but Safari is working faster for me.
I tried this approach and went to Developer/usr/libexec and Developer/usr/share and in each of those locations I DID NOT have a cups folder at all. So I made one in each location and in the libexec/cups I also made the filter folder and then I added the corresponding files. Also it said that the last two files should replace existing ones, which I did not have at all because I had to create their containing folder.
Anyways it does not work for me after doing that rebooting, removing and adding my printer and enabling sharing for it and I rebooted after all that just for good measures. Still a no go.
Please help!!!!
Man oh man I hope you're right about the memory management!!! I hate the memory management in OS X SL. Inactive ram not being cleaned up, I manually have to clean it with the purge command. And I don't appreciate swap space being used when I have loads of free memory available.
When I get home and backup this baby, I'll test this update out.
Thank you so much for that handy little tip. Found the right folder, which I noticed was actually hidden.
EDIT: After a restart and the rest of the steps, it is working fine with my HP Photosmart Premium Web c390n (the one with the big touchscreen and web apps)

A simple google search will answer this question and direct you to the goal you seek.
Do what CougarCat said. Click on Finder, then up top on the menu bar click Go, then go down to Go To Folder (next to last one or so) and type in /usr don't leave off the / That will open up the right folder for you. Then look in the ReadMe.txt of the fix to figure out where the 3 files go from there. Then restart and delete and add your printer again and don't forget that after you add it you will have to reenable sharing.
I wonder how you got those numbers from XBench.
You have iMac right? Sorry if I'm wrong.
I have a Mac Pro Early 2008 3GHz 8core with 12GB of RAM and Apples official HD5770 and updated to 10.6.5.
But I get like 258 with OpenGL Graphics Test.
Wonder whats wrong with this.
Waste of disk space and time IMO. Flash 10.1 is still not working properly, no surprise really as I don't think Apple are going to support it anymore, screw the customer cause they can't be bothered....
No problem man! Glad I could help. AirPrint is the main reason I wanted 4.2, so I'm glad somebody out there figured out about this little fix.
If you were running a beta of 10.6.5 does that mean software update won't detect you need an update?
As good as in Windows XP I wonder if it will ever be. Windows XP (came out 2001) is quite a bit more lightweight than Snow Leopard (came out 2009), and that's understandable as it is more limited when it comes to graphical (and other) things in the operating system.
I think it is better to compare performance with Windows 7 with Aero enabled, no?
If you read my original post I stated that this busted my Macbook Pro (late 2007). Yes I do have a hackintosh as well (still on 10.6.4) but my Macbook Pro is the one having the issue.
Ended up just reformatting and starting from scratch.
kthxbye
You might want to take a look at the security updates that are in 10.6.5. Quite a lot are for Adobe Flash (some website estimated that 42% of 10.6.5's security updates were in fact Adobe Flash updates).Waste of disk space and time IMO. Flash 10.1 is still not working properly, no surprise really as I don't think Apple are going to support it anymore, screw the customer cause they can't be bothered....
