Is there a driver I can download for this printer that is
compatible with windows xp??. I'm getting sooo frustrated
with xp, I'm considering loading Windows 98 instead. Any
help will be appreciated. (NOVICE)

HP/Compaq has abandoned this printer, and apparently MS didn't think
enough of it to include the minimal XP driver, but it looks like you're
in luck. I have no personal information about the driver at the
attached link, but why not give it a try: http://tinyurl.com/54wi

But the catch is, there is no XP driver on the Comapaq site (or the HP
site).

I tried looking last night, but HP's website was down. It's still down this
morning. When it's back, try looking there for drivers for Windows2000 for
your A900... though if it really is that old, there may not be any.

There is one listed he

I have no idea if it will work but it's worth a try.
