So I got a new laptop, great. Got USB cable to connect to printer, fine. Found out that printer would NEVER work with Vista, whatever. Got new printer (HP Deskjet F4180 All-in-One), like it a lot. Had to get different USB cable, okay, fine. Installed printer, but had to skip the step where I connect the USB cable -- it said that was okay and I could always do that later (I didn't actually have that cable yet).
Now, when I print for the first time every day, and I assume it would happen every time I turn the printer on again, I basically go through part of the installation process all over again; it doesn't let me just print. I now have (supposedly) my printer and 2 "copies", the newest of which is the "default" printer. I cannot even delete these printers, b/c when I drag all but the default printer to the Recycle Bin, it just says "deleting-offline" but they don't go away!!! Pretty soon I will have 179 "copies", and no way to get rid of them. Help!
