Welcome to the threads, WorthaLotBuckeye! [sm=wave.gif] Blessings, Sharon-Marie ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (Sigh) . . . Up until about 2 months ago, I had a GREAT laser printer. But I felt that Our Lord had other plans for it, and so I relinquished it . . . with the plan to get another one . . . only I didn't do that as expediently as I thought I would. Last week, it occurred to me that I'm gonna need a printer to print packing slips and UPS mailing labels for all these goofy toys (plus, I really do need a printer for other reasons). SO . . . I got on eBay and bought a wonderful HP Color Laser Jet printer (never opened; still sealed in the box) for an absolutely fabulous price. The printer came earlier this morning. A while ago, I went to get it all set up. It's not until I put the installation disc in, and the video instructions did not automatically start playing that I thought something must be wrong. So I clicked on on the "English" icon on the disc, found the written installation instructions and began reading them. THAT's when I learned that this particular printer is not compatible with Macs (any of them). (Sigh) Fiddle. I have used HP printers for 23 years; and the most recent printer worked very fine with my Mac. I don't think it's the eBay seller's fault; he / she was very detailed and specific in the product's specifications. I'm sure (since I had to find it via the installation disc) that the seller simply didn't know to list that aspect . . . and it never occurred to me to question the compatibility. And getting rid of this new printer is really no big deal: I'll either return it to the buyer or sell it on eBay. But what is a big deal is that now I have to find another printer . . . which means that I won't be able to start selling the toys on eBay until I have the printer (and I was hoping that today would be the start day). Oh well. Thanks for listening, y'all. [sm=flower.gif] OH - and I'm glad y'all like Lambchop; my choice today was between her and Baby Miss Piggie on roller skates. [:D]
