HP deskjet 882c printer will not work
Can someone please help me. I have a HP deskjet 882c
printer which will not work with XP. I have tried going to HP site to get most uptodate driver, but the site, tells me that XP already has the most recent driver, which does not work. So i attempted to look for alternative drviers on my own, which did not work as well. I have tried installing with out the printer connected. i have tried installing with it connected. i have tried uninstalling usbport, and reinstalling in case of error to no avail. It is a good printer, and is in working condition, because it works with windows 98 just fine, on several computer. It jus won't work on my laptop Inspiron 8600, which runs XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Waiting anxiously. |

in BIOS and is operating properly? Bobby "john" wrote in message ... Can someone please help me. I have a HP deskjet 882c printer which will not work with XP.
