I have the same unit. That's great. I'm still using Snow Leopard, and
it was there, not Lion that killed the scanning functions (I can scan
through Preview, Image Capture, the preference pane and of course
VueScan, but not with the HP drivers.) Do you know if the new driver
will work with 10.6? There are other things I miss, besides
scanning, such as controlling the faxing operations from the
computer, such as resetting the clock. Pain in the neck to do it from
the front panel.

Barry, I believe the driver I downloaded just works with Lion. But here's a link to the driver for 10.6 for my model, which is e709a:
<http://h10025.
If your model is something different you could search for its driver at: <http://www8.
I definitely have the ability to fax from the computer.
As for resetting the clock (something I have never needed to do) I have just spent a silly amount of time trying to find out how to do that from the computer. I had no idea it was even possible.
In fact, could you tell me how you do (did?) that?
Anyway, it seems to me it certainly could not hurt to download and install a new driver from HP and see if that restores some of your functionality.

How do I tell if my scanner is compatible with Mountain Lion? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01664444#N43
I don't get any of the notifications mentioned in the link, but I still can't scan. It's a finicky scanner, though, so I don't know whether it's an HP problem or an OS problem...

Thanks. I might try that. My HP laserjet works just fine with Mountain Lion, thank goodness, but who knows for how long?

I finally had a chance to look further into this. Here's an article I found where it confirms that FTP has been removed as a simple option in Lion:
<http://forums.
The first paragraph says this:
"The upcoming release of Mac OS X Lion and Lion Server dramatically simplifies file sharing, removing official support for FTP and Sun's NFS file sharing protocols while adding a new WebDAV option making it easy to share files with iOS devices."
I don't understand that. Would WebDAV let me access my home computer with OS X Lion (not a "server" version) from my Windows computer at work? And if so, does anyone have any idea how I would set that up on the Mac, and use it from the Windows machine?
That paragraph says it is "easy" to share with iOS devices. Not with other computers? What IS WebDAV, anyway? I only associate it with the late lamented iDisk.

Howdy.
It is pretty easy to swap out a hard drive on a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
the OWC folks have a step by step picture based DIY (Do It Yourself)
section on doing this.
Check here: <http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/ > (MacSales is
OWC)
You need a small jeweler's size Philips screwdriver and you need a
Number 6 Torx screwdriver. Torx is that sort of 6 pointed star type of
screw head and are common in laptops.
OWC sells a computer screwdriver kit that includes Philips and Torx
screwdrivers. You can get Torx screwdriver bits in multiple sizes to
fit a universal holder at nearly any major hardware store.
The process should take about 20 minutes.
I suggest a type of jeweler's screwdriver that has a thick handle that
is easy to grasp. The first time some of the screws are removed on the
bottom of the MacBook case (there's about 10 screws) that may take some
pressure to loosen and a small handled screwdriver doesn't offer enough
of a grip to maintain downward pressure while you also turn the tool
and you can strip the screw head.
When you remove the bottom screws to open the entire bottom of the
laptop's case you should put the screws next to the case and the holes
they came from in order of removal. I think some of the screws are
longer than the others and it is important to return those to the same
spots.
There is a plastic retainer clip on one side of the hard drive that has
to be removed. There are also 4 little retainer round bolt things on
the drive that can be removed and swapped to a new drive. The battery
should be unplugged before doing this work. There is a battery power
connector next to the battery that needs to be pulled out - carefully.
If the old drive is still working, try an inexpensive external hot swap
drive dock. I have a couple of Thermaltake BlacX drive docks with a
USB port and an eSATA port. These are also made in a flavor with USB
and a FireWire port. Cost at my local Micro Center super store down
the street is about $39.00.
I find these drive docs to be very convenient for all kinds of backup,
extra storage space, and troubleshooting.
There are several members of this group who have had defective drive
docks including the Thermaltake BlacX brand and also what appears to be
a nearly identical but rebranded Newer Tech Voyager.
I have had excellent results with my two Thermaltake BlacX drive docks,
no problems of any kind, but these are not expensive units and they can
be defective.
Good luck

I just replaced the drive on a late-model MacBook Pro with the help of an OWC video and a Newer Technology toolkit I got from them. As you say, it was very easy.
However, instead of putting the screws next to the case and the holes they came from I would recommend laying the computer on a towel and putting the screws, in sequential order as you remove them, onto a strip of adhesive tape taped onto the work surface with the adhesive side up. Otherwise it is very easy for the screws to skitter away, and once that happens they can be hard to find.
Also, I may be wrong but if I remember correctly, in addition to a Phillips PH00 for the screws holding the case together, you will also need a larger Phillips PH2 for the hard-drive retaining bracket. (The Newer Technology toolkit had both those sizes, plus other tools--very convenient. I also have a Torx screwdriver with replaceable bits but found the ones in the toolkit better suited to this use.)

OK now that we know it's easy - on a MacBook a kindergartner could easily do it - let's move on with the subject of WHAT kind of hard drive to replace it with. I know the answer but first Carol what size is your current Hard Drive? And What exactly is the model MacBook Processor type & Speed and RAM quantity at what speed? Have you already installed 10.7.4 Lion on it - the upper limit of OS X on MacBooks?

Let's not give people the wrong impression here. "Easy" is in the eyes of the beholder. If you have experience fussing around inside a computer, and are comfortable working with small electronics, replacing the hard drive in most (not all) Macbooks could be considered easy, as opposed to replacing the Wifi card or lcd screen, but it is harder than replacing the drive in a mid-sized tower case. It's also potentially disastrous if you are not careful. Lets not give people the wrong idea here.
In the grand scheme of computer upgrades, changing the drive in a Macbook rates "moderate" on most scales. If you are comfortable working in computers, go for it. If not, pay someone else $50 to do the work and take the risk.

Trust me. It's easy. Very easy on a MacBook.
If you want hard-unto-impossible-nightmare try replacing the HD in a 9 year old iBook. Something like 56 screws to remove and the entire computer has to be disassembled. Takes about 2 hours just to get it all taken apart.
You don't have to disassemble anything on the MacBook except one plastic 4 inch retainer that holds the drive in. Even the power and data connector is a single device.
