Hi Everyone!!
I'm brand new to this forum and brand new to the mac world. I've just gotten my new 24" 2.8 iMac and love the thing. It's just beautiful to look at and and dream to use. Although coming from the windows world, I've got a ton to learn
Anyway...I wanted to start off by posting a solution I figured out to those who's apps may be crashing when trying to print under Leopard. I've got an HP Officejet 7310 connected to my network. When I initially turned on my imac and configured the HP printer it was using Bonjour (which I have no clue what it does). Anyway...I downloaded the HP drivers which added all my scan and fax functionality--good stuff. When I tried to print in Firefox, it would crash. Then I tried Safari..crash there too. I tried Preview...again--crash. I went in to my printer options, deleted the printer, and then started the process to add a new printer. Instead of using Bonjour, I told it to use IP communication. It found my HP and configured it. I tried to print a test page and PRESTO!!! It worked...
So for anyone who's having printing issues, change the configuration to use IP communication instead of Bonjour.
Hope that helps!!!!
Cheers!
Wayne
