HP G85 All-In-One with Windows XP

Dec 9, 2003 3:01AM PST

Has anyone been able to fully enable the G85 software including HP Director, Scanner, Fax under Windows XP? I've obtained the software from HP that supposed to support XP (version 3.1, HP OfficeJet K Series Software). I've had a few emails with HP support, but I'm not getting anywhere.

The printer will print just like a normal printer, but there is no access to the other functions. XP appears to be using just a standard print driver rather than the unique drivers supplied by HP.

Thanks.
