i had a HP 8150n connected to my PC running on XP for around 6 months , but i had to reinstall XP and now trouble!
i have the printer connected to the pc with an ethernet cable the connection is set to printer sharing and i can ping the IP address of the printer, but---i cannot install any printer software it either doesnt see a printer at all or it will install a printer that isnt really there and doesnt work. I have been at it for 7 hours to no avail.
any ideas would save my mental state and would be appreciated
