On a very basic level: make sure the printer is switched on and the green
light is steady (not blinking). Go back into the Chooser, highlight or
double-click the 1160 icon, then close the Chooser window. Try the printer
again. I'm not at the computer to which my 1160 is connected, but I
remember that the printer/USB combination is picky about having itself
selected in the Chooser before it realizes it's actually connected.

Good luck,
