Subject: Mac Drivers for HP USB CD Writer |
Comment: Newbie to Macs.
I have a HP 8230e USB CD Writer. The iMac sees the USB device I have plugged in, but asks for drivers. Where can I find drivers (Apple & HP do not have them abailable on websites - that I can find) How do I get the iMac to recognise the CD? I am running OS9.

Reply: (edit)I have been given an informal pointer to this address by HP themselves. This is a lead to an unsupported "fix". http://www.computing.net/mac/wwwboard/forum/731.html ........... see Response 19. No reply from that address yet though.

Reply: (edit)The CD burners come with software that
include the drivers. You cannot get the
drivers seperately from the software. For all you Mac people, get TOAST (from
Adaptec, I think - Version 4 is OS9
Compliant) and it should recognise the
burner just fine with the built in drivers.

Reply: (edit)I will try Toast. The official word from HP is that they do not support Mac for that CD burner. I emailed them as I use that same drive with my PC and wanted to use it on my Mac. No luck. There are hundreds of posts all over the internet with the same question. -Gerald

Reply: (edit)I followed up on the link that HP gave, and the e-mail address does not exist (according to the error message). I have also installed Toast (latest version), but the writer is still not recognised. If you have any other suggestions, or maybe a detailed step-by-step walk-through I'd be glad to hear about them.

Reply: (edit)Roxio are the new supporters of Toast - this link is to their compatability chart. http://www.roxio.com/en/jhtml/cdrdatabase/compatibility.jhtml This also says my HP8230e should be compatible with a Mac when used with Toast. I guess we try again and again until it works. Cheers
