Apple Releases Printer Driver Updates For Leopard

Apple has released a patch containing printer drivers for older printing devices on their Snow Leopard operating system (OS).

Previously, the OS had suffered from serious compatibility issues with older printers, particularly more aged HP devices.

The update also contains drivers which cover Lexmark, Canon and Brother models, as the problems were found to be prevalent among machines that utilised older-style networking systems to connect to printers and copiers.

It also contains a new function that will list all nearby printers and copy devices in the user's print dialogue box.

The update also features bug-fixes for other functions, such as sound, swipe gestures and improves the performance levels of the VoiceOver, iWork, iLife, Aperture, MobileMe, iDisk and Final Cut Studio applications.

This brings Apple's Snow Leopard, which was originally released in August this year, up to version 10.6.2
