I have the same problem and nothing works.  I guess I'm stuck with a throwaway printer!  I called support and they were no help.  The update drivers on the web site don't have my model number   Apparently the problem is with Mac updates for OX 10.8.3  Useless printer!!!  I'll have to see if Apple makes printers.  I give this product -500 (minus 500) stars!!!!!  Don't buy one if you use a Mac!!!!!
