print documents correctly if your iMac is using OS 8.1 and you do not update your

3. If your printer does not work correctly when connected using a hub, connect the
printer directly to a USB port on your iMac.
4. If you unplug your printer USB connection while your iMac is switched on, wait a few
seconds before plugging it back in, otherwise your iMac may not recognise the printer
and you may be unable to print correctly.
