    Unless it's VERY obscure, it will be downloaded for you when you first switch on (if the printer is attached).

    They used to ship with every printer driver (ever), but they stopped that from Snow Leopard.

      The only peripheral problem I've ever had was with an old HP LJIV that I still use. Leopard didnt like talking to it in PS so I just used a redundant PC as a print server and all sorted.

        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

        Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

          And it is indeed very sexy hardware.

          I remember nursing a semi when unwrapping the delights they sent me.

              Is the Snow Leopard upgrade worth it? I've got Leopard but have noticed the upgrade packs are pretty cheap, will i notice any difference?

                  A few more bells and whistles, mostly "under the hood". For £20 (or even £30) it's worth it.

                    Yes. It is a bit quicker but like everything, after a while, you probably won't notice.

                      For the money you're spending you could get that sorted professionally.
