It's a Desk jet 3740. The light won't stop flashing and I'm getting a mechanism error message that the printer cartridge cradle can't move. Only it does move. I've tried everything in the user's guide and nothing worked.
Please help if you can. I need to print out some specs tonight so my brother can fix my car. It's not working either.
*sigh*

We are using an IMac running Mac OSX Tiger and we had an HP PSC 750 printer prior when we were using windows XP before we switched to Mac. We went to the HP website and downloaded Mac driver for the 750. For some reason the printer work sometimes and other times does not work. The job will just stop sometimes. ?Any suggestions

And the rating is the same thing. Plz help

im a freshman in high school and need to know if i should get a windows laptop, black macbook, or macbook pro. i'm going to have this computer since i graduate high school so, it has to last me a long time or until college and then i'll get another one. i am an amateur photographer so working with pictures is big. i need a computer that can let me edit my home videos so, the computer has to have excellent video editing software. i go everywhere with my current laptop so, small size has to work, but not too small. i need a computer that doesnt heat up or freeze a lot like mine does. and, should i get a glossy screen or a matte anti-glare finish? please help! thanks

I'm planning on purchasing a quad-core (Intel extreme 2.66 or 2.93), dual graphics card (Nvidia 8800s) setup and was planning on adding 4GB of RAM.

Although I've discovered that only the 64bit Vista can support 4GB, which is apparetly primarily used by pro-gamers or scientists (as opposed to the 32bit used by most consumers).....what's the deal.......? Should I stick with 4GB and use the 64bit Vista or downgrade to 2GB and use the 32bit? How easy would it be to switch between the two, what's the necessary procedure?
