Darryl, UNFORTUNATELY, as I found with my 970 printer, HP is not updating a number of older printers with regard to drivers - in my case, the issue involved Win2000. And a model close to your own my, as the old expression goes, can give no cigar. Even some models with the same number but a different set of features, given with some of the various letter extensions, can be different enough to be a different printer entirely.
In a number of cases, the older model was superseded by a more current model, BUT different enough in internal workings so that the dirver for the newer model will not work either properly or at all with the later model unit. So you not finding a more current driver for your HP printer especially to work with WinXP is not surprising from my recent experience as well. Am finding with the changes in technology going the way it is these days, sometimes you have no choice, especially with a more recent operating system, to either stick with the older OS or you end up having to get a more current unit to get corrent drivers and/or software for the unit. It is amazing how many companies are not updating drivers and/or software on older items to work with XP - in some cases the company is out of business, or in others, it is not cost effective to do the update, since they have since released a more current unit. Ralph Linda, Thanks, but I already did that. Surprisingly, they don't. The site defaults to a printer model similar to mine, but the driver doesn't do the job. And, the HP tech help was, well....unhelpful. Any other ideas? Darryl ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
