Please help me!
I'm Recent convert to Macs and having big trouble getting my eMac to print. I have just reinstalled both OS9 and OSX, although I am booting in to OS9 as I am mainly working on OS9 apps.
I have an HP Deskjet 920c connected via a USB-to-parrallel-port cable.
I have tried downloading the driver from HP, as the disk supplied with printer had no driver for OS9, and they suggest putting the driver in 9 not X. The printer software
seems to work at first as I can clean, do test pages, etc. But when I try to print Appleworks (or Quark etc.) nothing happens when I click on File/Page Setup, and when I click on File/Print it says "you have not selected a printer..." - BUT when I select the HP Inkjet from the left window of Chooser, nothing appears in the right window (where Deskjet 920c should appear) and it asks if I want to scan for network printers (which I don't - I don't have or want a network setup!)
Aaaaggh! I think I'm getting muddled up between Appletalk, Chooser, Desktop Printer, etc. as I've tried all the help menu suggestions - Somebody help me stay away from PC's and get me printing pleeease!
