Time Machine Restore - Clean (I.e. new) OS X Leopard with Apps and Data from backup!

[LordSplodge]

Quick question:

My MacBook won't print to my HP PSC1110, this is because many moons ago (around 4 months) I tried to put the 10.4 drivers on for the scanner support. Anyway I could do with being able to print and have not been able to restore the OS X 10.5 driver ('cos I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need to restore)

So can I do a nice clean and lean re-install of OS X and then bash my apps and data back and have them work?

Googled this but all I can find so far is a complete TM restore. That's not what I want. If anybody with better Google Fu than me can find a link please post it for me.

Cheers

Yeah, if you format + reinstall Mac OS X you can then plug in the Time Machine drive and copy over everything you need. You'll then need to delete your Time Machine backup and start fresh mind with the new install

That's great now all I need to do is get my brother to give me my Leopard disk back!
