HP Color LaserJet 1500 on Snow Leopard

| 0 Comments
Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), I haven't been able to make use of my HP Color LaserJet 1500 -- a budget color laser printer that I bought in 2003. Every time Apple releases a new HP Printer Update, I look to see if this printer is included, only to be disappointed.

Under Snow Leopard, neither Apple or HP officially support this printer; on Apple's list of supported printers in Snow Leopard it is notably absent, and HP's recommendation is that one should purchase a new printer to replace it.

I have discovered that with an Airport Express or Airport Extreme and using the USB port, the printer shows up as a usable printer utilizing Bonjour. Unfortunately, the printer only has basic options such as paper type selection.
