HP psc 500 also

And what was reported in the compatibility testing, prior to upgrade: or did
you just forget about doing it?

Try getting the correct drivers for XP for all printers.

Remove all HP software from your machine, re-boot, and let Windows install
the native PSC500 drivers. They are the only drivers that will work with
XP. HP has a long text on this on their website. Long story short: only
the native WinXP drivers will work for you. The key is to be sure you have
removed all parts of the former HP installation (including all registry
values). Again, HP has a tutorial for doing this, on their web site.
