===Troubleshooting===
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
'''Problem: I can't get the installer downloaded.  Instead a web page of garbled text is displayed.''' 
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
Solution: Right-click the download link and choose ''Save File As'' or ''Save Linked File As'' depending on your browser. Save the downloaded file someplace accessible on your computer like the Desktop and proceed with the instructions.
 
βˆ’
This may mean your browser is not properly installed. This is most common with Mozilla Firefox. For more information about installing Mac OS X software refer to http://guides.macrumors.com/Installing_Applications_in_Mac_OS_X
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
'''Problem: I receive an error message: "Your system software should be updated to 10.4.11 or higher to properly utilize the new printers.  Navigate to the Apple Menu / Software Update and follow the directions to update your software."'''
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
Solution: In order to properly utilize the printers at ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅, you should ensure your operating system is up to date.  You can check what version of the operating system you have by navigating to the '''Apple Menu / About This Mac'''.  You should see Version 10.x.x.
 
βˆ’
For version 10.4.x navigate to the '''Apple Menu / Software Update''' to download all the free updates. 
 
βˆ’
For a version prior to 10.4.x you will need to contact the Technology Helpline at x6111 for alternative methods of installing the printers.
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
'''Problem: I receive an error message: "These printers requires additional drivers not installed on your computer.  Please download them at: https://greg.gac.edu/download/mac/printing/hpdrivers.dmg"'''
 
βˆ’
 
 
βˆ’
Solution:  You do not have the printer drivers needed to use the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ printers.  Click on the above link to download the free drivers.  Install the drivers and try running the printer installer again.
