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.

Are you sure the cable is good? Are you sure your parallel port is enabled
in BIOS and is operating properly?

I have a HP882c printer hooked up to my XP Home Computer.
I use the USB connection and the default drivers for the
882c. It works very well.
