[QUOTE="hugtheslug, post: 1379116, member: 48841"] Right, I think I know what's gone wrong, it's done a very windows-like thing and lost the drivers. Go to [url=http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=29789&prodNameId=29790&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=lj-57300-1]HP LaserJet 1200 Printer series*-* HP LaserJet Mac OS X Installer Print Only Software Solution for v10.2, v10.3.x, v10.4.x, v10.5 - HP Business Support Center[/url] and download the Mac drivers for 10.5, then install them as per their instructions. I remember now having nightmares with my HP Deskjet under Leopard, and after installing the drivers from HP the OS X Software Updater jumped in and put the Apple supplied driver on. I still don't know which driver version my printer is using, but it works so I've left it alone. Cheers :) Hugh [/QUOTE]
