We will be in touch
I am a MAC newbie and have a little knowledge which I am aware is potentially dangerous! Anyway, I am trying to install my printer which is an HP Photosmart C7280. The driver disk says it is for OSX 10.4.x and my MAC is 10.5.8, I have also downloaded the latest driver from HP which says it is for 10.6.x.
New driver will not install at all and the old driver installs but whenever I print a doc it says 'Printing Stopped'.
What am I doing wrong?
Should just plug in and work no? Mac os x has loads of pre installed drivers already..
Forgot to add that printer is connected to the network and not via USB.
Have you installed any software for the printer on your Mac? I bought an Epson WiFi printer, and was getting frustrated until I actually read the instructions and installed the print utility, when it worked properly. It might be a similar issue, due to you running it on a network. Shouldn't be an issue, usually when you hit print, it should give you a list of printers available, and you scroll down and select the printer you want, the fact you're running 10.5.8 shouldn't make a difference, it's pretty recent, it's what I have on my PowerBook.
