Hi seanyboy,

Welcome to WinDrivers!

First off, I don't have any personal experience on this particular model. Perhaps some of our other members can help you out there.

As for running on WinXP, you can find the BJC-5000 Download Library here:

They have drivers available for Win2000. Usually, these will work for you in WinXP also but no guarantees there. Also, I believe that WinXP has these drivers already embedded in the OS but may only offer limited functionality.

You may want to read up on this other thread about the BJC-5500:

Hope this helps out. Good Luck!
