1409 -
140901 - On 101115 did not configure c17, because could not connect printer
140902 - cable to to the cpu; need USB port converter cable. ref SDS 2 G49I
140904 -  ..
140905 - To avoid setting up CPU #14 again which has the printer configured,
140906 - went to Fry's and bought a cable that connects a 19 pin printer cable
140907 - to a cable that connects the computer with a USB port.
140909 -  ..
140910 - Tried configuring the HP Deskjet 895cse printer to c16 in XP mode.
140912 -  ..
140913 - Need the printer to print the letter to Granitville on pension
140914 - retirement benefits, presented by Social Security in the record
140915 - yesterday on 101203 2132. ref SDS 3 FY5O
140917 -  ..
140918 - Using the printer with c16 and c17 requires a converter to connect
140919 - the printer cable to USB ports.
140921 -  ..
140922 - Drove to Fry's and purchased a printer cable converter to USB, cost
140923 - $21.84  Paid with Visa credit card.
140925 -  ..
140926 - Connected the printer HP Deskjet 895cse to c16.
140928 -  ..
140929 - Getting error message that plug and play recognized the printer, but
140930 - needs software device drivers.  Installation "wizard" checked
140931 - Internet for device driver and reported nothing can be found.
140933 -  ..
140934 - Tried using c16 in w7 32-bit mode, but just reports that installation
140935 - failed, without asking for device driver.
140937 -  ..
140938 - Tried using c16 in w7 64-bit mode, and got same result as w7 32-bit
140939 - mode.
140941 -  ..
140942 - Tried configuring printer with c16 in w7 32-bit mode, and again
140943 - failed.
140945 -  ..
140946 - Did an Internet search for device driver.  There are many people
140947 - offering device drivers for the Deskjet 895cse printer.  So, far they
140948 - all offer the driver for free, attempting to download the driver
140949 - however results in an effort to sell something else and not getting
140950 - the driver.
140952 -  ..
140953 - Found the HP CD that says it has the device driver; however,
140954 - installation wizard says it is not digitally signed, and so may not
140955 - be compatible with the hardware and operating system.
140957 -  ..
140958 - Since everything else has failed, will try again to download a device
140959 - driver from the Internet.
140961 -  ..
140962 - Since this was installed on c14, there may be some clues in the record
140963 - on configuration reported 041118. ref SDS 1 G49I  Actually, there is
140964 - nothing useful in that record.  It reports that the printer was
140965 - configured automatically.  Nothing had to be done.
140967 -  ..
140968 - After several hours was unable to configure the printer.
