[QUOTE="NilesL, post: 660170, member: 56566"] New to Macs, used to do pretty well with Windows XP. I know that Macs are easy to learn, and I'm trying, but I'm baffled. I have a new iMac with OS X and the 3.6 duo processor. I just got it, and am trying to install my printer. I connected the printer, powered it up, and attempted to install the drivers. OS X does not have them preinstalled. I downloaded the newest one from the HP site, but the iMac doesn't seem to know that. I located the driver in the download box, and clicked on it. I went thru the motions, and it successfully loaded. (Not). When I try to print from my email, it can't find the printer or when I prompt it, no drivers. After reading here, I found the utilities section and then the HP folder. I got it to print a test page, but nothing else. It still can't find the drivers. I'm this close, and can't get it to work. Any assistance would be very appreciated. Be very specific, as I can follow directions, but don't assume I know where anything is, or how to make it work as even the simplest tasks can confound me. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
