Upgraded to Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and having problems with an HP bit of kit? Fear not, for one day only (today!) HP will be offering real-time support through the HP Support Forums for customers suffering from the Snow Leopard upgrade blues.

Here’s the deal:

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT on Sept. 9, experts from the HP Mac-connect team will monitor the HP Mac Printing & Scanning Board on the HP Support Forums to help customers enjoy full functionality of their current Mac-compatible HP peripherals. Customers who post questions on the board will receive a timely response from HP experts.

Following the real-time support hours, the HP Mac-connect team will continue to provide tips, support and advice on the HP Mac Printing & Scanning Board.

Customers can access additional information and timing regarding HP driver support for a wide range of HP product lines at www.hp.com/support and www.hp.com/go/mac.

HP has worked closely with Apple throughout the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard development process, enabling customers to enjoy built-in print driver support for more than 1,300 worldwide HP peripherals out of the box – the most ever offered by HP for a new Mac OS. In addition to print driver support, HP is providing scan support for the latest HP Inkjet All-in-Ones built into the operating system.

This is an excellent opportunity to get your Snow Leopard/HP problems sorted. Well done HP for taking a proactive approach to support - I hope to see other vendors follow suit following the release of new OSes.

It could still be more than one day
One day is kinda lame since forum help isn't always the most reliable. (Read the rest)
