Hewlett Packard ripoff driver on website doesn't work, 2 years still not fixed! Internet
Every time I need to reinstall the driver it does not work with a usb cable even though the website found my printer on the usb cable and installed the driver for my deskjet 970cxi with usb cable and windows ME os.
It worked with the usb cable before! And nothings wrong with my printer or my computer! The cd that came with the printer did not ever work. Cust. service was no help just like in all the other complaints!

While I don't know specifics on your setup, most if not all printers nowadays are going to usb connection (and are eliminating SERIAL PORT connections - which is what the genius above is referring to). What you may want to check is does the printer's setup disk call for WinXP or Win2K - if so then you are trying to set up a printer meant for an NTFS file system on a NON-NTFS files system. Also does the printer instructions specify usb 1.1 or 2.0 - older usb ports are 1.1 and have a lower transfer speed than the later. This doesn't cause problems with most hardware but it IS possible. Also, check in your system info on your pc to verify that the printer drive you have is SIGNED (and compatible with your operating system). The only thing I do agree with is that WinME was terrible - If you can afford to wipe it off your hard drive and put on Win2K or WinXP as soo as you can. I hope this helps.
