Any ahle people can offer would be appreciated. > thanks, > matt It's been awhile now but....I upgraded to 9.1 the to 92.2 and then downloaded the driver for OS9 from HP website. It wouldn't work as I remember pretty much as you describe. I did manage to get it to work occasionally but not consistently by going to the extensions manager and clicking the x off, restart, click the x back on and restart again. It would work for awhile but never right. I gave up and went and bought a $94 HP 3 in one and I like it for what I do. It's a much smoother printer and all things considered the copier is good too. The scanner is OK is you don't care about quality. My HP 695c which I truly loved for 4 or 5 years is now in the basement collecting......whatever, I'm not going to look. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. ED
