Since the earlier than expected release of Apples new Snow Leopard (10.6) operating system for the Mac on 28^th August a number of users have reported problems associated with printer drivers. The main gripes with the new software appeared on forums a few hours after the official release and were mainly concerned with HP printers, but problems have since emerged for a number of major printer brands.

The Apple website shows a full list of supported printers and contains further help and advice for some printer models. Additional, some of the major printer manufacturers have released their own help documents. A list of useful resources is provided below.
