Worth repeating is that since no one wants to pay for older printer drivers to be updated we see many get upset as a working printer falls off the supported list.
Bob
have a new H-P computer loaded with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005. I also have an H-P PSC printer (2110xi) which I am unable to install. The stated procedure is to run the installation disk with the printer turned off and the USB cable unplugged until you are instructed to connect. The problem is that XP Media Center stops the installation because it finds no USB connection. If the installation is attempted with the printer turned on and connected, only the printer installs, not the scanner nor the HP Program Director. The software installs perfectly on my other computers, one with XP Home and one with XP Pro.
HP customer support has been of no use, telling me my printer is obsolete at three years of age, and causing other problems by 'scrubbing' the printer setups. Any suggestions on how to get the printer to install? The problem must be unique to XP Media Center 2005. Thanks
