First and fore most- I HATE HP PRINTERS (INKJETS)

I have never had more problems with HP printers than with any other printer.

After installing the printer drivers for an HP 890C, I reboot. Windows says found new hardware. Manually specified the location of the driver. Reboot, same thing!

So, I thought may be it is because I didn't run the setup executable from the CD. So I did that. No go.

I even went into BIOS and change Plug n Play OS to NO.

No change.

Here is the system config.

Win98SE
P3 800
256 MB PC133
ABIT VA6
Creative Live Value
32MB S3
Plextor 8/4/32
Toshiba DVD 12X
Floppy
250MB Zip (IDE)
30G HDD
300W Power SUpply
Creative Modem Blaster
Logitech Trackball mouse
Microsoft Kbd

anything else that I am forgetting? Spent three hours at the customers trying to figure this issue out.

Note: Norton was not installed. No antivirus was running at the time.
