I have installed my new printer (Epson RX560) into my macbook, it is already in my PC. The printer appears on the desktop (Mac) . When I went to print a document it did not recognise it or any other as this is a new book. Do I drag it into applications, to enable it to work, is this not the norm when you install anything into mac, I have installed a couple of small items and dragged them into applications but am still left with them on the desktop what am I suppose to do the them,do I drag them into the litter bin? :confused:

You complain about THE GREATE APPLE NOTEBOOKS in our own forum :mad:

Who is using printers these days BTW?! Mac OS X should be advanced and not support any of those losy technologies of the 90s *


* This is the type of responds I got when I complained about MBP missing memory card readers

Are you talking about the disk image mounted volume? Once you install the driver, this can be dragged to the Trash which dismounts it. You may also drag the .dmg files to the Trash.

Open up Printer Setup Utility found in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then click add printer, choose your printer and you should be good to go.
