HP 812 printer, install question

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Hello, tried to install a old HP 812 printer on a friends computer today,
but could not get it to go. I downdoaded the driver off HP website, burned
it on a cd and took it over to try to install it. The usb was unplugged like
the instructions says, started the software download, but it went thru the
first couple of steps, but before it said to plug in the usb it went to a
screen in microsoft word that looks like instructions and then it would hang
up. Any ideas? thanks,Gary
