i was mistaken .. I did try the October driver and that didn't work

we have the printer hooked up via USB directly to one of the iMac  
ports - the HP model is:
  C4280 All-in-One

we're using our Epson 5740 (many years old) .. works fine with Image  
Capture

but, we'd like to use the HP

I'm going to see about returning it to Apple
