hi,
I have managed to get a printer from Freecycle but I have just realised I havent a clue how to go about installing it. Its a Hewlett Packard Printer Deskjet 690C and no CD's etc came with it.

hi,
I attempted to install it tonight now I am settled into my new house but was completely thwarted because the leads are different!! The one which connects to the printer is a box one with pins in (scart??) and my laptop only has a much smaller socket or USB holes ... any suggestions on how to convert??
Thanks

You'll probably need something like this.
Pictures would be useful, though.
Take it you mean parallel not serial.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0 -
