You have two choices in installing the 960C printer. You can use the driver
on the Windows XP distribution CD or the driver from the HP web site. For
either, start by deleting any driver that might now be installed for the
printer. Next, read the instructions.

If you go with the HP driver from the web site, make sure it is the driver
for use with XP that you download.

Let us know.
