I just bought a new pc that runs XP Home (hardware
details below) and I want to continue using my deskjet
882c. The printer was hooked to a Win98 pc via USB and I
never had a problem. With the new setup (deskjet <-USB->
pc) I get (at MOST) a half page printed.
I have ruled out a problem with the USB ports since other
USB devices work fine.
My father has XP Pro and he can print to a 900 series
deskjet thorough USB and to a 700 series through LPT1 so
I believe it can be done. He is running XP Pro and I am
running XP Home. Does account for the difference.
HW:
Sony VAIO PCV-RS410
P4 2.66 GHz
256 Mb
OS: XP Home Version 2002 SP 1
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
