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.

Software Update will not recognize an…: Apple Support Communities. Thanks Joey! I wonder why HP just doesn’t say that?

This problem can be solved by removing the following directory and then installing the update via Software Update

A Hidden Security Threat: Beware the Office Multifunction Printer | PCWorld Business Center. I wonder if the small business that typically buy a MFP would know to fix this? I doubt it ranks in the average IT persons security concerns.

Forget Acquisitions: Apple control the Supply Lines | Alex Blom. Interesting analysis. It seems so obvious when we are looking back that they were several steps ahead of their competitors. I always thought Apple was ahead of their competitors even with the earliest designs.

Yes, you would use an ethernet cable and the ports for each and disconnect the USB connections when you want it to work. What I am doing is temporarily disconnecting the ethernet cable connect (and going offline) and connecting the ethernet cable to the HP m1522nf and doing some scanning. When I’m done, I disconnect the cable and go back online. It seems to be working and I haven’t gotten the error reports after scanning like I did in the beginning . Its seems that this will allow you to get that function from your HP until they develop a better driver that works with Lion. Hope this helps all those affected.

This is if you want to use the scanning and printing function. If you just want to print it is currently working.

iOS: AirPrint 101. So is there a third-party way to get printers that are not AirPrint ready compatible with it? I really want to stick with Canon printers. All the printers on this list are HP. I wonder if they had an exclusive with them?

Lexmark x502n: Apple Support Communities. This documents the step by step required to fix the problem. Several solutions are posted. I had someone search for this term today so that’s why this post is made.

beerlao has the solution:

Hi,

just have a look into your CUPS error log. In my case it said:

Unable to execute /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP/LexmarkX500Filter.app/Contents/MacOS/L exmarkX500Filter: insecure file permissions (0100755)

Setting the the driver directory and its contents to root:admin (user:group) did the trick for me:

chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP

You need root privileges to do that.
