HP LaserJet M1522 Scanning in Lion?: Apple Support Communities

 

HP LaserJet M1522 Scanning in Lion?: Apple Support Communities. Thanks DocStan. Normally using old software causes problems, but I suppose it is worth trying when nothing else works.

HI.

I just got my printer scanning on the network.  It works from both my iMac and MacBook (wirelessly) and here’s how:

1.  GO to HP’s website:  www.hp.com and click on “Support and Drivers” at the top

2.  Click on “Drivers and Software” on the next page

3.  Search for the M1522   (I have a M1522nf) and click on the printer that you want

4.  THIS IS KEY:  When the list of OS comes up choose “Mac OS X”  WITH NO VERSION EXTENSION – that is don’t go to “Mac OS X 10.7″

5.  Download and install the most recent version of hte driver.  I ended up with:

HPLaserJetM152MFPseries1.4.0.dmg

6.  Run the program and install the software.

You do not need to plug the USB cable into the printer if it is a networked printer.

7.  You can then scan from “HP Director” – the program you’ve installed.

Image Capture doesn’t work, you need to use the HP software, but so far that works well for me.  I’ve done it on both my Macs.
