HP dosen't support earlier versions of M$ than what was current when the printer was built. You *can* try getting CUPS running on windows...if you're a masochist.

No fuckin drivers for XP. -- http://home.comcast.net/~wizardofwhimsy/index.html cageprisoners.com|www.snuhwolf.9f.com|www.eyeonpalin.org _____ ____ ____ __ /\_/\ __ _ ______ _____ / __/ |/ / / / / // // . . \\ \ |\ | / __ \ \ \ __\ _\ \/ / /_/ / _ / \ / \ \| \| \ \_\ \ \__\ _\ /___/_/|_/\____/_//_/ \_@_/ \__|\__|\____/\____\_\
