Woohoo!! Printer issue is resolved! Thank goodness for website support pages, and toll free 1-800 numbers. I went to HP's website to see if I could find any info about the error I was getting while trying to install my printer, apparently other people have been getting that error message too, because they had steps to follow to try to get around the error. (I was getting a "Failed to read file xxx" error... error #1305 if memory serves...) So, I did what they said, which probably would have worked had it not been for the "cyclic redundancy check" error I got while copying a certain file. A call to HP support followed, and they told me that I can download the software right from their website. That worked. My printer is now operational. I haven't tried out the different programs completely yet, I only printed out a couple of pictures last night to make sure that it was really working. Yay HP!!

:-D
