HP Deskjet 690c drivers for Win XP

**dseruga** · August 23rd, 2004, 05:18 PM

Does anyone please have these drivers for Win XP? I've searched everywhere and I can't find any.
Well, I do have generic ones (embaded in Win XP) but they're very simple, don't have all the options.
I once found them on taiwan or tailand pages or something like that, they were written in hyrogliphs and they worked great, but I've lost them and can't find them again!!
Help would be very much apreciated,
thank you in advance.

looking at this article from hp ,,,, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...ategory&os=228

From freddy's link above:

The driver that Windows installed is a basic driver that allows printing but may not offer other advanced features such as banner, poster, or automatic two-sided printing.

As the man said, looks like that's it.

Many people have expressed the same opinion (problem) as your's. WinXP supplied drivers lose some of the features that many people depend on...especially, two-sided printing.

If you get a workaround, please post it here so that we might all learn from it.

Good Luck!

These are the right drivers! Although they are in chinese and if you don't installl the language all the letters you'l have are " IIII III IIIIII III" but if you look at them better you'll see they are easy to use, with ALL the options, maybe even a few more. There's a picture in properties that will help you see what options you've chosen.
I had these drivers before (I lost them obviously) and I know they work great.
They are easy to install aswell, because there are instructions on the web page. You just have to ignore all Windows wornings about unchecked drivers.

Bye!
