Printer problems

I just recently set up my HP printer to my iMac G5 not too long ago. I didn't have any trouble. Did you thoroughly read through the steps provided by the manual book? If you did you shouldn't have any problem setting up the HP printer. For the HP printer I believe you have to configure the printer first like turn the power button on then you'll have to select print, then, scan, copy but not sure which order comes first but it should say on the book. Then you'll have to install the disk that come with it. Maybe try restarting your computer see what happens?

 

I had a somewhat similar problem last year; I switched to a MBP (from a Toshiba) last April, and I wished to link it up with a small laser Dell printer which I was perfectly happy with and did not wish to have to change.

The Dell did not feature on the MBP's identity list, of appropriate or compatible printers, and so they did not recognise one another. The solution was a bit complicated, and basically involved fooling the computer by downloading a driver so that my MBP could be persuaded that it was shaking hands with a printer that it thought it was compatible with. This means, now, that in the printer window a totally different icon appears (a Sigma, one of the closest "foot-prints/finger-prints" to the Dell in question) to the printer that the MBP is actually hooked up to, namely the trusty Dell. Bizarre though it sounds, it actually works. Hope this helps.

Cheers and good luck

 

NX200 has the same issue ...

Folks,
I just received a replacement Epson NX200 -- my CX7400 shot craps recently -- and I can't add the NX200 to my printer list because it isn't listed on the software. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Nx200

There is absolutely no fix for the NX200 that I can find on the internet, and not even a single mention except for the two posts on this site. I installed the software on the CD and it still wont add the printer to the list. I downloaded the driver and still nothing happens.
