    Go here for <a href="http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpd09005.html" target="_blank">HP Deskjet Printers - Microsoft (R) Windows XP Installation Instructions for Add Printer Wizard Drivers</a>. It has step-by-step instructions for Manual installation of the drivers if the plug-n-pray feature did not automatically install the drivers.

    It also tells you to make sure that your LPT (parallel) port is set to ECP in your BIOS settings.

    Good Luck!
