Samsung Xpress c430w - not finding much on their site...

looks like the drivers are hosted on HPs website oddly

if you change the OS selection there is a driver for Mac OS so you could try that to see if it helps.

+1 for building a hackintosh.  Most fun I've had troubleshooting a few small issues.  I used mine for 5 years before job changes.  Company wouldn't pay for a mac but asked me to support them.  Hackintosh was a good way to get familiar with OSX and it's "features"  Give it a try when you have time.

That's worked I think

 

So any other little addons and tools you can recommend for Mac users?

 

Thanks

Thanks

that's great.

 

the only other tool i used personally was TotalFinder to add tabs to finder; though Apple has natively done this now the app does still add some useful features such as Windows like keyboard shortcuts for Finder

edit: not sure if useful to you but I also had Paragon NTFS on my Mac for read/write support; never understood why Mac OS can't write to NTFS by default...

Been through a LifeHacker article on small must-have OSX apps, little add-ons - found some really useful things.  Will note them later

Right, written the quiz and it seems to have taken a little over an hour.  Bear in mind some of that time was reprogramming the mouse to have "paste without formatting" shortcuts, setting up the new iCloud folder structure and basically creating a new workflow - I'd call that a win.  Thanks all for the help
