The typical fix should be to go to the HP site and make sure you get the most up-to-date drivers for that printer. Then, completely uninstall the drivers you're using now, and then reinstall the new drivers. Have you tried it that way? ::: Troth ::: ______________________ ICQ: 1717439 MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx Yahoo IM: SirTroth AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ______________________ ::: Original Message ::: Sent Fri, 13 Feb 2004 09:54:05 -0800 by milady | I have an HP printer version Deskjet 882c..it's own software doesn't work | with XP..I think it was "95-98" respectively.

THAT will stop and then it produces page after page of jumble | until I shut it off, cancel and reboot and sometimes I have to go thru THAT | 4 or5 times. Gotten very pesty this situation. I don'tknow WHAT to remove to | totaly delete the whole program to try and start over. There are so many | files and I think some unrelated to the printer. | I have a restore disk that has the files on it but getting rid of un | necessary to get back to normal???ARGHHH..its been too far back to think | about useing restore in the computer.AND I can't find the owners manual. | GROWL.. I didn't think about the "in house" restore in time. SOOO | Any ideas?..
