HP driver needed for XP

[Kenny]

I have a very reliable printer..until I reloaded windows XP proffessional and now the pics I print are a pretty pink I changed the printer ink cartridge but it's still the same. HP don't list a windows XP driver for my parallel port HP Deskjet 710C series printer...tried a website or two and the f**rs just tried to download lots advertising bumph

Anyone ( I know it's a long shot ) know of a place to source a driver ? ( or know why the printer has gone pink ( it may well be the printer at the end of its useful lfe )

The Deskjet 710C is already in the XP list when you go to add a printer- shouldn't need to download an additional driver.

Steve's right, but here it is anyway

Oooer....how odd, an HP driver on the HP website

It's more likely to be the nozzles getting gummed up Kenny.....try putting some solvent through it by filling up an old cartridge with a syringe.....

(Try the driver first but if that fails, you've got nothing to lose)

Oooer.....check the programme first.....a lot of drivers have a 'clean' function

... for my parallel port HP Deskjet 710C series printer...

Buy a new printer you tight git!

I've skipped better printers than a 710!!

LOL - probably the best advice !!

I've had a self clean but that didn't work...the printer works fine with the XP driver...just doesn't do the colours anymore.

Thanks guys...I think it is time for a new printer...maybe next year though, mustn't rush my decision

eeerm - Don't HP carts have the print head jets in them.

so a new cart would fix it.

cheaper to buy a new printer tho

All fixed now...the new cartridge was also faulty

Good ol 710c is back on the road
