I tried that and other things..I don't know if it's the printer or the
software. The printer DOES print but all I get is garble now. And it goes
thru a succession of repeated buttons blinking in rotation. THEN goes into
print mode and out comes nothing but symbols--maybe a line or two or even
just one or two --over and over. If I ddin't stop it, it would just keep
printing like that until I shut of the computer. AND I found that nothing
in the print que from that printer will delete without repeated effort.It'
being a real pistol. I have spent hours a day for a week--I like that
printer and I HATE like heck to loose it. I did try a manual install but I
could have missed something. or skipped something.

have you tried a manual install?
delete the printer first, shut down your system, unplug the printer from
your pc and unplug the power cable connected to the printer. start system
with no printer attached. shut down again, reconnect power cable to the
printer, reconnect printer to pc [try a different USB port] and start system
again.

Manually install the printer driver
1.. Click Start, then Control Panel.
2.. Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
3.. In Printer Tasks, click Add a printer.
4.. Click Next.
5.. Select Local, then remove the check mark from Automatically detect and
install my Plug and Play printer.
6.. Click Next.
7.. Select Port
Parallel connection is usually LPT1
USB connection is usually USB001
Click Next.
8.. Select HP from the Manufacturer list.
9.. Select the printer model from the printer list, and then click Next.
10.. Select Yes if this printer is the default printer, or select No if it
is not.
Click Next to continue.
11.. Select No to skip the test page, and then click Next.
12.. Click Finish to complete the installation.
NOTE: If prompted for a Windows disk in Step 12, do not use the disk that
came with the printer, use the Windows XP disk or the recovery disk that
came with the computer.
13.. If prompted for a Windows disk, insert the appropriate Windows or PC
Recovery disk (not the disk that came with the printer) and follow the
instructions on the screen. Once the driver has been installed, it will be
listed in the Printers window (Start, then Printers and Faxes).

THAT
