" HP Printer Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6.1
Version 2.1
This download includes the latest HP printing and scanning software for Snow Leopard. Requires Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later.

For information about supported printer models, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
(previous doc "OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software" updated again. An "*" next to a printer/scanner model number denotes an updated driver, a "+" means a recently added model.-Mike)

If anyone finds this update/and or 10.6.1 helps with their HP printer, send a note. Thanks.
(BTW - Although an HP 970CXI printer user he still can print 2-sided (duplex), an HP Laserjet 2300dn user wrote that's now working for him in 10.6.1 w/updated HP driver for it.)

"iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2
This update is for iMac computers with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card installed, running Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later.

It updates the graphics card firmware on the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card in the iMac to improve system stability."

FYI - several owners of these iMacs are reporting this update was not needed/wouldn't apply. (Has -anyone- had this update apply?)
It did not appear in software update on a 2007 AL iMac here (w/ATI 2600 graphics). That reminded me of the previous iMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1 released in Late April 2008. That page had info on the ATI ROM version after the update. And even that update would not apply on my 2007 AL iMac w/2600 ATI graphics that had an -older- ATI Rom version than the updater supposedly had. But a day or so later, Apple revised that doc to note it was only for "Early 2008" models (not my fall 2007 model) - and again later revised the doc to note the 2 specific ATI rom versions it was actually targeted for.

So tonight after hearing the same thing on the 'new' 1.0.2 update, I tried the 1.0.2 download updater on this 2007 AL iMac w/ATI 2600 gpu - it reported "your computer does not need this update".
(I really wish Apple would be more specific about their firmware updates. But they may revise the doc later (as they did last time) to note more specific requirements/target. And I wonder if it's just an updated installer and not newer ATI firmware than the April 2008 1.0.1 update for 'early 2008' iMacs. Owners of that model may have already applied the earlier update, or later builds may already have that ROM. If I can get some spare time I'll dig into this and try to find out more details.)

" Apple RAID Card Firmware Update
This update provides several fixes, including:

Reliability improvements during boot and power fail recovery

Addresses a potential issue when rebuilding a degraded RAID 5

Resolves an issue that can fill the on-board flash file system

Improves battery handling and reporting
(FYI - the "About" Doc also lists " improves compatibility with Mac OS X v10.6 and Mac OS X Server v10.6.")

The update is recommend for all Mac Pro (Late 2006, Early 2008) and Xserve (Late 2006, Early 2008) systems with the Apple RAID card.
The updater application will be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder and will launch automatically. Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the update process.
For detailed information on this update, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3784."

That HT3784 link ("About Apple RAID Card Firmware Update 1.0") 404'd (not found) when I first posted this but is online now - it includes this note about firmware versions and requirements (this is just a clip, see doc for complete details).

"About the Apple RAID Card Firmware Update 1.0
...This update requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server v10.5.8 or later and current EFI Boot ROM. You will need to reboot your computer as part of the update process.

Apple RAID Card Firmware Update 1.0 updates RAID card firmware versions M-1.3.0.6 and M-2.0.3.3 to M-2.0.5.5. If your RAID card firmware version begins with E, you have a newer version of the Apple RAID Card, and you do not need this update.
For more information about identifying which version of the card you have, see Mac Pro RAID Card: Identification and compatibility or Xserve RAID Card: Identification and compatibility..."

I've had tons of mails on OS X 10.6.0 printer problems, no duplex (2-sided) printing support, some mail/keychain problems, etc..
(BTW - an HP 970CXI printer user said 10.6.1/HP drivers update did not enable duplex printing - although a HP Laserjet 2300dn user wrote it's now working for him in 10.6.1 + HP driver update.)
