Unfortunately, my printer's scanning functions are simply not supported under 10.6. It's a Laserjet M1522MFP connected via LAN. I'm hoping some software update will soon add support for this model, but so far, no go (and quite explicitly - it's on Apple's list of supported printers - and the print drivers certainly show up - but scanning is not support on this model). -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks.

I can print just fine on it. I have one of those. I scan from it using the Image capture app as I never got HPs crappy software to work. Works fine from Image Capture though, even from other machines on the LAN. It's a C31...something or other printer scanner card reader thing. Never have used it as a printer, it's just a scanner for us. -- This is to say: while it was true that they had just appeared in this particular set of dimensions, it was also true that they had been living in them all along.

From: Frank on 2 Mar 2010 07:19 v 10.6.2 Only problem I have had is with email. Many hours with tech support of both Apple and Windstream did not solve problem. Even reinstalls didn't work. Apple finally admitted that it must be a software issue. This group came closer to helping determine the nature of the problem. Prob is only with sending email. Determined with your help that it was with the "handshake" before the actual transmission. This took over a minute. Once handshake successful the transmission went very fast. If immediately after successful transmission another mail was sent there was no problem, but if I delayed sending over a few seconds handshake problem came up again. Both tech supports tried every possible combination of email settings. this has occured on iMac, and two macminis. Frank GA

As I told the other kind poster who suggested (in very generous detail), it depends on the specific model. Here's Apple's support page which lists all the printers that Snow Leopard supports directly, and whether it's print, scan, fax, or a combination: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669> You'll find your C31xx is listed with both print and scan. Unfortunately, my M1522 is listed only with print. As I said to the original poster who asked about problems with 10.6, one potential one is the loss of functionality for certain devices. Printers/scanners are almost certainly the most common such issue and it's certainly affected me to the extent that I keep one machine running 10.5 for the time being. Eventually, I'll either replace the printer, supplement it with another printer which does both print and scan (I'm leaning towards this solution, as my current printer, as great as it is, is a black and white laser and it'd be nice to have a good color printer, too - I'm leaning heavily towards a Canon MX860 or MX870. I'm done with HP.), or HP will come out with a driver update. -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed.
