I am having trouble connecting my second printer to my computer. I have an IMAC g4 800 mhz processor and I am running OS 10.2.8

I have two printers. The first being a photosmart 2610 all in one printer. The second being a laserjet 1200 printer. Both HP.

The problem is that my laserjet 1200 does not print. The print center allows me to add the HP 1200 and allows me to send documents to print from it, but when following the job it continues to wait endlessly for the postscript of the printer to pick up.

I thought at first that it could of been something inside the printer, but I checked the printer out on a powermac g4 500 mhz computer running OS 10.3.5 and it worked fine.

When I check any of the hp printer utilities such as Hp printer selector and Hp inket utility the printer doesn't show up.

I think that there is either some file(s) conflicting with this printer or I'm missing some software. I have tried to download the printer drivers from the Hp website, but an error comes up saying to use the printcenter to set up the printer.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I'll be glad to give more information if you need it.
