So it seems myself and a few others are having problems with 10.1.5 and an HP deskjet 990cse. Suddenly, the computer puts out error messages and print center center says there was an error in connecting to the printer. This is problem #1.

Problem #2 is that I've downloaded a slightly more recent driver from HP and the installer is on my desktop. When I click on it I get the standard window to make changes to the system and then a message that says my login needs to be at least Administrator to make changes. I've installed all my software and I have never, ever gotten that message. I know it's been a long issue with others but I haven't followed it. I have no interest in logging in a "root". There must be another way. In SystPrefs/users I am the Administrator. I need this driver, what can I do?
