I am working with an school trying to load print drivers on iBooks running OS 10.6 and 10.7. I loaded the latest drivers for the printers but found that they did not work correctly. I went to the Library and removed all the drivers and PPD's. When I tried to load the earlier version of the driver I get the message "A newer version of this driver already exist on this computer" and it will not let me load the driver.

I tried the same procedure on my personal MacBook Pro 10.8 and I can load and unload the drivers with no problem.

Any clues as to why this is happening?

Your first problem comes from the fact that iBooks have G3 or G4 PPC processors, and Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 are Intel only. Any chance either the hardware or the software is something other than what you specified? – Daniel Lawson♦ Sep 28 '12 at 0:42
