Hi. I am sure this is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find the information I need and would appreciate some help in understanding what I need to do.
I have bought a HP Officejet 4215 and am trying to install the driver on my
7500 (OS 9.1, upgraded to a G3, 256MB RAM) and it tells me there is no device
connected even though the system profiler shows that the HP is connected. In
double checking the system requirements for the HP I notice it needs a
display
resolution of 800x600, but my monitor control panel only gives me one choice
and that is 640x480.
Therefore, I figure I have to upgrade something or the HP will never install.
Right? I have looked in books and around the internet and can't
figure out what
to do from here. My monitor is a ViewSonic E771 and is attached with a Mac
adapter that has many settings and works fine.

Patrick, I could be wrong as it has been a while since I had that problem but you may need another MB or two more VRAM.
Open your machine and see if all of the VRAM slots are filled.
If they are try a reinstall of 9.1 to install more monitor settings or do it by hand.. Sherlock the OS for extra files somewhere/ -- Adrian
Can't see how it could need more vram for such a modest requirement as 800x600? (I would be surprised if the monitor res has anything to do with the printer set up anyway?)
Patrick, what do you mean by "trying to install the driver on my 7500"? If it is an extension, you just put it in the ext folder? Look around that folder and see what else relates to printing, maybe there is conflict. You may need to turn these other things off.
You install the extension? You brought up the chooser? You had the printer powered on? You had it connected to the printer or modem port and you chose same port in the right side of the chooser set up?

I was informed that the resolution problem was solved by flipping the DIP switches on the monitor adapter.
The selected resolution appears but the printer still does not work.
