Katie hello, it is consoling to see that others are having the same problem as I. I have an HP 1220C on a G3/266 Mac operating system 9.04. i am exhausted from calling and explaingin and trying to solve what is clear to me now is a Vectorworks software conflict with HP printers. i ahve read your site's advice, spent hours talking with HP and local tech support people, but 9.5 does not work with HP printers driver version 3.2 or 4.3 (the latest).
I purchased the printer to complete a project (freelance) and am now in a major problem in that the project was to pay for the printer and the client is furious. I dare not take this to a printing copany due to the ame software problems. To make a long story short, all the settings are correct in the percentage areas, one page, orientation etc, but nothing larger than an 8.5 x 11 will print. On two occasions from version 9.0, it printed fine, but in the many many other attempts, it has failed. NOthing was changed to induce the failures.
I have subsequently updated my system software (to 9.2.1) which was a big mstake because now the desktop printer icon is being mass produced in an infinite loop (#123 appeared when I finally ended the cycle by removing the related exension from the system folder amidsts the barrage).
More specifically, I have an internal USB adaptor card and am using an older HP 970 (same as the 1220 but smaller) on the same computer. Hp confirmed that the driver version 4.3 will work for both. I am very frustrated and have pent many hours and phone call money to solve this to no avail. I and others clearly need a fix. Please e-mail me personally as well as post to this site if possible...pbody.jg@verizon.net.
