Is it possible to install a new HP Envy-4520 printer on a computer running Snow Leopard I am trying help someone setup a new printer (HP Envy-4520) on an older Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) Obviously the best solution would be to replace the computer, unfortunately, this isn't an option. I am not onsite with the Mac at this time.


I found instructions through Google, but they are obsolete*.
The printer does work when printing from a mobile device.
I have tried setting the printer up using the generic driver options, but they didn't work. (The printer received data, but gave an error message referring to the output tray extender).
I can put together a Windows box from spare parts and share the printer from that, if that would work.
I am experienced with Windows and Linux, but my Mac experience is limited.


Any suggestions or is this a lost cause?

According to Apple's archived support article for supported printers, the ‘HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One’ is supported by Mac OS X 10.6.8. I recommend downloading and installing the most recent HP Printer Drivers (v2.16.1) for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and see if the printer drivers for the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One will work with the model you have.
