If you are UPGRADING to XP, DISCONNECT the printer BEFORE upgrading.

If you have already upgraded, uninstall and reinstall, using

It is compatible. Drivers are included in XP

I hate to tell you but... it is possible. HP is not
writing xp drivers for some of their old printers. You
need to leave the old printer on the old computer and
network your computers. You can then print from the new
machine over the network.
