Had to connect my HP1315 printer directly to my macbook as my pc is non functional atm (no power). Now I cannot get it to find the drivers for it. When I plug it in it says it will find the drivers directly from Apple, goes through looking for them then comes up with "Not Available, contact manufacturer".

Now having a look at the HP website seems to suggest that the drivers should be picked up automatically from Software Update but this is not the case.

I have had a look around and found HP Drivers 2.7 for download which looks like it should have the drivers but after I install these and then plug the printer in it still looks for drivers on-line?

Am I missing something here? I could really do with it up and running asap!!

I know it works under 10.6 (& 10.7) but for some reason it isn't doing so now :(
 
OK, I got it to work so I'll leave a solution, which was; install the HP Drivers 2.7.2 again and reboot. My macbook picked the printer up straight away next time I plugged it in; don't know whether it was the (re)installation or reboot but it now works.
