[QUOTE="delfromnsw, post: 1366787, member: 237137"] Hey just adding my experience..... Upgraded from SL to Lion on my 27in Imac! What a disaster!!!!! Wifi printing would not work at all! Yet had just purchased Macbook Pro with Lion pre-installed and it worked fine so knew the network was all good. After 2 months of talking with the "genius" (sic) at Apple, no help at all and searching forums... I found I needed to update my driver from THE APPLE SITE. Yep, you go to Epson, no driver for Lion!! Then stumbled upon forum that said Apple have written their OWN drivers for the printer suppliers who are too slack? dumb? lazy? to do it themselves! It was a real dig around, but finally found it and go it working!! Another "what the ****" question is..... I have high school kids, and we use imovie a lot to create school projects etc, there is no longer idvd in Lion!!! What is so stupid is when you purchase a BRAND NEW LAPTOP not the upgrade as I also did, you get imovie which still says "share with idvd" - are apple so stupid as to not remove this function so us "oldies" who are used to idvd - don't spend hours of their life (which I will never get back again) searching for copies of this to find it doesn't exist any longer in Lion! Okay found a work around, but still! I love my magic trackpad with lion operating system, once you get used to the hand movements, it's fantastic! Although a little sore on the finger tips, I found using a slight sprinkle of baby powder on the trackpad does the trick. (hope it doesn't stuff up the electrics in the long run) I'm even using Microsoft products on the Mac - Remote Desktop Connection to a TS within our office has enabled us to do away with the PC - (piece of crap) and go all out Mac. We can now use our Microsoft Access and PC accounting software on our macs on a seperate desktop - with the easy swipe between desktops back and forth it's a breeze!!!! Hope this has been helpful to anyone. Conclusion, stick with Snow Leopard until they get all the final bugs out of Lion! [/QUOTE]
