You're still using Windows XP right? You probably should have a cdrom somewhere that came with the printer, install the printer driver that is on it.

And that was all the help I can give you with the pain that is the combination of MS Windows and printers.

Setting up a printer under Windows is really a windows exclusive thing involving no freedomware and since we're not a windows support forum... well.. let's say it's a bit offtopic here. Smiling

But I'll use this chance to plug GNU/Linux here.. In it, your printer would most likely just work without you having to do anything. If you're curious about trying it see Get GNU/Linux dot org - it's a site that nicely describes what is GNU/Linux (or just "Linux" as many call it), why not windows, why is it better and which distros to get. Smiling

Let us know if you decide to try it.

Cheers
