Mendel,

I thought it strange also not being able to copy the files from the Windows folder. On further investigation, I found that it was Adobe preventing the copying or moving the files into its Plug-in folder. The "Adobe Photoshop CS2" sub folder under the Adobe folder was the lowest I could copy the two HP files into. After copying them to this folder, I unchecked the additional folder option in Preferences/Plug-in and removed the two files from the Windows folder. The plug-in is working fine like this.

Thanks for the replies Ronald and Mendel,

I used the Windows Xp search function for HPHiddenExport.8be. It was found only in the Windows Folder. I searched that folder and saw this file and a HP Photosmart plugin file. Windows will not allow one to copy or move files in its folder.

I then opened CS2 and went to Preferences/Plugins and added the Windows folder as an additional plugin folder. I restarted CS2 and opened an image, and the HP Photoshop Pro printer is now an option in CS2's File/Automate box. Clicking on it opens a print window on top of the image. This, as HP says will help streamline the printing process.

Thanks again,

Jimmy

I am running CS2 on Windows Xp. The set up procedures for the HP B9180 states

that the "HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in" is installed automatically if you

have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and above on the same computer. I had no problems or

errors show up during setup of the printer and software installation. HP's

instructions say to open an image in PS and look under Files/Automate/and click

"Photosmart Pro print..." This option is not there nor is it in any of the CS2

options such as filters, Import/Export, etc. Neither can I find an HP plug-in in

the Photoshop CS2 folders. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks, Jimmy

I have been buying what I thought were genuine Epson cartridges for my 1280 printer. The packaging reads Genuine Epson but also reads "FOR USE IN CHINA" The price for these is little more than $5 less than Epson's or the local Office Depot.

Are these really genuine?
