Woh, Woh, WOH! Mr. Green, I read your first post - something about a HP Printer. In a release yesterday @ MacFixIt, they were saying that the HP Drivers are still not compatible with X.2.2, AND that the HP drivers from the printers & scanners can keep your processor racing & corrupt other things as well. I know...I posted Sunday (12/8/02) that my iMac was dead slow due to X.2.2 upgrade - but I found out yesterday that it's the HP drivers I installed for my HP printer. Rethink formatting or partitioning your hard drive until this thing gets worked out. Check out this link: <http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20021209074507118> for the MacFixIt article. -- J.
