I'm this close to dumping this printer and getting a new brand. I've gone through lists of what to do about this problem and followed every instruction to no avail.
My printer was working just fine until I installed HP software that allowed my scanner to work (I hadn't scanned anything in a very long time and had gotten a new laptop since then). The scanner worked fine and I was happy the machine was in working order.
Then I tried to print something again and I've been getting a message saying "Printing -- waiting for printer to become available," no matter what I've tried. I've unplugged and unplugged, reset the printing system, bought a new connecting cord, some nonsense with Disk Utility . . . Is there a solution easier than switching to a better printer?
