In tandem with the release of the 10.6.1 update to Snow Leopard, Apple rolled out a bunch of other updates, including iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2 and drivers for HP Printers running under OS X 10.6. The downloads are freely available right here, on Softpedia.

Talking about the iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2, Apple reveals that it’s aimed at iMac computers with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics card installed, running Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard) 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,” Apple explains.

Posted September 10, 2009, iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2 supports several languages, including Deutsch, English, Français, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Dansk, Norsk Bokmål, Polski, Português, Português Brasileiro, Pусский, Suomi, Svensk, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

The package containing HP Printer Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6 “includes the latest HP printing and scanning software for Snow Leopard,” Apple says. Requiring Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later, the 380MB installer application supports all the aforementioned languages and is free to download.

“By default, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard installs software supporting the printers currently used by your Mac (if available), nearby printers on your network, and popular printer and scanner models,” Apple adds. “If you click the Customize button while installing Mac OS X v10.6, you can choose to install software only for printers currently used by your Mac (de-select all Printer Support options, except for ‘Printers Used by This Mac’), or you can choose to install all of the printer and scanner software that is available from the Mac OS X Install DVD (select all Printer Support options, including ‘All Available Printers’),” the Mac maker explains.
