Thanks. I did the install. However, after deleting my two HP printers
(832c and 5MP) and allowing it to recreate them by simply connecting
them via USB, it appeared to get the same drivers, and the 832c is
still wounded in the same way (prints one small page across three,
there are at least two spurious page feeds) and the 5MP still ok.
I think the 832c driver is bad. I went to create a new printer, but
when choosing the proper driver, it tells me I already have one do
I want to continue. I didn't since the result would be the same.
(hmmm... something to try anyway?)
I am now downloading OSXHPInkjetInstaller.dmg from the HP site,
which it recommends for my printer and OS X, but only up to 10.4.
I'm getting a sinking feeling about this as it doesn't mention
Leopard yet, and I have no idea if it will work or just trash
things.
Any suggestions here on how to get the HP 832c printer working
properly?
Another odd thing I see in the Driver tab of the Print & Fax
is "To take full advantage of your printer's options, confirm
that they are accurately shown here. For information on your
printer and its optional hardware, check the printer's
do***entation." Well, there is nothing else displayed there,
and it is all greyed out. It is this way for the 5MP printer
too. Odd, I think.
Thanks, John
