[QUOTE="natey, post: 23088"] I'm starting to reconsider my Mac purchace, and go back to PC. Seriously, I'm sick of having problems. Then again, Windows has problems too -- maybe it's time to just trash it all and go back to pen and paper! Today, I bought a new laser printer. When I got home I pluged it into my mac. It (the mac) didn't do anything. So, I put the in driver disk, but the driver disk keeps wanting to use classic (mac 9) mode; what about OSX drivers? So, I go onto the Samsung webpage. Sure enough, there are OSX drivers. I click to download. Nothing. I click again. Nothing again. For some reason, i can't download the driver. So, I figured, maybe it's a problem with Safari, and I try Netscape's browser. Nothing downloads. I try Explorer. And a again, the download wont work. I then tried using the printer prefaces menu. And yes, my Mac sees the printer, but no, it wont print to it -- it wont let me select it because there are no drivers. I also have a lot of buttons that are diabled. Now what do I do? I'm stuck with a $200 printer that can't print. I'm a writer, I need to print things off -- it's my job! I got a mac so that I wouldn't have to spend my time fixing my computer, meanwhile I should be working on my projects. I'm a writer, darn it, not a techy. Does anyone have a solution to this? Has anyone else had a problem, too? My printer: ML-1710 (samsung) My computer: Powerbook, 15", 1Ghz, 768Ram, newest OSX 10.3. I got it a week ago. thanks for your help, --nate :) [/QUOTE]
