Q: I have an iBook G4. My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best Buy and bought an XP400. It is all set up but I can't get the printer to communicate with the computer. Have tried everything I know and it won't work. Any ideas?

I have an iBook G4. My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best buy and bought an XP 400 (Epson). When I went to set it up it wouldn't talk to my computer. So it looks great but won't print After 2 days and many phone calls I am disgruntled to say the least. Any suggestions?

Take it back back to Best Buy and get yur money back. Take your iBook with you and buy a printer that works with it.

I would imagine the drivers supplied with the printer will not be compatible with your existing operating system.

Download the older drivers for your OS here, and then try the install again.
