After upgradimg from windows 95 to wondows XP I recieved a msg. that i needed a new printer driver for XP. After downloading the driver offered by HP for windows XP, the printer does some strange things:
1. The printer disconnects after each use
2. sometimes the printer will reconnect when a print job is sent to the printer, sometimes not.
3., sometimes the printer will reconnect after being powered off and on, sometimes no
4. sometimes a have to reboot the system to reattach the printer.
I know that the Officejet 600 is an older printer and HP would rather have me buy a new printer but is there any driver maround that will function properly with Windows XP?????
