Most printers are simple to use They were 5 years ago, but they're hard again for some reason. Not too long ago you could plug a printer into your router, find it on the network from any machine and print to it. No software install. Just find it and print. If you weren't on a network, you could just plug the USB jack into your machine and print just as easily. Remember plug and play? For some reason, it doesn't work like that anymore. You need to find the CD and install the drivers, and even then chances are you won't be able to connect to it over the network. Even if you have the USB cable plugged into your box, it's not smart enough to pretend it's a memory stick and give you the drivers you need. Anybody know what happened there?
