Mac Intel driver for HP Deskjet 840C
After upgrading to an Intel iMac, my HP Deskjet 840C started to produce garbled output. Fonts were too large and clipped at the bottom. Apparently the HP Deskjet 3.3 driver is broken on Intel computers. Solution is to download and install the HP Deskjet 2.7.1 driver. This is a PPC driver and will work via Rosetta, but output looks good.

Thanks for that. Your blog is the only place online where I found a hint of what was causing my problem with the same printer model. (Unfortunately I’m finding it difficult to download the 2.7.1 printer driver from HP. Keeps timing out.)
