Any help would be appreciated You ask that question, but don't bother to tell us what you've tried and how it didn't work? Not even a single error message to give us a hint?

Any help would be appreciated It's dead, Jim. I had a PSC1350; it hit Leopard and bounced, hard. HP eventually came up with (very bad) drivers for the printer section, but never for the scanner section. HP support told me, straight up, that the PSC series was no longer supported and that I'd have to get a new system. I did. I bought a MFD from Brother. I'm still using it. Brother Marketing should send flowers to HP (non) Support. There are 3rd-party printer drivers for the PSC1350 which worked a lot better than the HP drivers ever did; they still work. You might try Gutenprint or HPIJS (note that HPIJS contains drivers actually written by HP people, and is actually hosted by HP, but is NOT official. Many of the HPIJS drivers are of better quality than the official HP drivers, too. Your guess is a good as mine as to why HP has gone to so much trouble to hide stuff away.) for printer drivers. You might try 3rd-party scanner systems, such as VueScan. Or you might just dump the PSC and get a newer MFD. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.

It's an HP MFD. it's pretty much dead on impact with any version of the OS past 10.5. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.
