The problem is caused by corrupted drivers which became corrupted by your
keeping the printed connected during the upgrade.

Uninstall and reinstall.

After upgradimg from windows 95 to wondows XP I recieved a msg. that i
needed a new printer driver for XP. After downloading the driver offered
by HP for windows XP, the printer does some strange things:
1. The printer disconnects after each use

2. sometimes the printer will reconnect when a print job is sent to the
printer, sometimes not.

3., sometimes the printer will reconnect after being powered off and on,
sometimes no

4. sometimes a have to reboot the system to reattach the printer.

I know that the Officejet 600 is an older printer and HP would rather have
me buy a new printer but is there any driver maround that will function
properly with Windows XP?????
