Hopefully someone on here can help me out with this. I have a HP Photosmart 8250 connected to a WinXP machine on my home network and I want to print to it from my iBook. My iBook is running 10.4.7
I can see the printer on the network but i cannot install it. I've run the installer on the printer driver CD but that didn't seem to do anything. When I try to install the printer it isn't listed even though I've run the HP software. Is there a way to manually add it to the list of printers?
I don't understand why this is so difficult on a mac. My problem is I am a windows person and I could do this manually on a winxp machine in seconds but I don't know where to start on a mac. If this was windows I'd just point it to the .inf and it would be done but I don't know what the relating file is on OSX.
It seems like if I could find the right file this would work but I don't know what I am looking for.
I thought everything was supposed to be easier on a mac
