Originally installed printer on Win 98.
Trying to use on WinXP.
Original install CD was for Win98
Second install CD says for WinXP (USB ONLY) and I use a parallel cable .
All functions work except SCAN which says cannot read my PC.

Not sure what is on the second install CD, but HP has a monster 60MB driver
download on its web site for the K80xi and XP.

Good luck... Ben Myers

Nope. I got that URL by going to www.hp.com , clicking on the Support & Drivers
panel, entering OfficeJet K80xi for the search after clicking the drivers radio
button. Next, click on Windows XP.

It's possible that the URL wrapped around lines in your newsreader and you may
have pasted an incomplete URL into IE 6. I use Mozilla, FWIW... Ben Myers

How come you don't know how to quote and attribute? It seems that you
don't even do a follow up, just cut the message out and reply on 2
lines. Nobody knows who you are replying to or talking about.

Thanx to ben_myers for all the help in getting my K80xi back online and
working perfectly.
Seems upgrading fm 98 to XP will not work without uninstalling &
reinstalling the new 60MB package with XP compatable drivers included
Hmmmmmmmmmm ..... seems a grumpy jumped in there without following ALL the
threads. ............
Thanx again,Ben

Your experience with a 98 to XP upgrade is typical. No way no how will 95/98/ME
drivers work with XP. Many Win 2000 drivers also fail to work under XP.

The bottom line: Look before you leap. Make sure that you have drivers for all
the devices you use before making the upgrade. Microsoft has some XP readiness
software which will help with the assessment of upgrade requirements.

Glad it all worked out. Finally... Ben Myers
