Hello there,

I don't know if it can help somebody but I would like to share my experience trying to install the driver on my Mac OS 10.6.8 for Hp Photosmart Serie 3100

provided by Hp.

I would like to prevent you: BEWARE!!
It is just a mess... a desaster!!

I spend a full day trying to make it working... No way!!
The scanner was never responding, it seems to be a very common problem with Hp.

Don't loose your nerves and most important don't install it on your "Hard disk".

Make it that way:

- Connect your Printer to your computer via USB cable.

- In your "Applications" files look for "Utilitary" and than double click on "Disk utilitary"
- Select your Hardisk and click on "Verifying Autorisations".

For French people click on that link:(I guess you can find it in English on Hp web site)

After that...
- Click on "" Menu than on

- Than you click on "Scanning" and you know what???
It works (at least for me)
Hopefully it can help someone...
This is my modest contribution for today...
