Thanks for replying.
Well, it seems there is a need quite often.
Did you have to make sure the printer was not connected first?
In the end for me. the printer installed, after repeated tries, then
gave a couple of hiccups ("network printer not connected" ,when it's
USB1??) then worked.
How did you get that test page? It may be of use.
I am also having trouble even getting the later drivers from the Web
to install, let alone the printer.
