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.

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.

Use USBTB to make a HP LaserJet 6L work

Bruce suggests “No guarantees, but before you pay for a print server, you might try the USBTB backend. It is reputed to work with some of these USB to parallel adapters when others do not. It is a free download.”

maccamotu said it worked and gave these additional details. “Thanks folks!


Bruce, you made my day, the USBTB did the trick!

Here is the adapter that worked:
