Can hp deskjet 710c run on deskjet 720c drivers

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

Yea you can install it, maybe work or maybe not, but you can install it.

Uninstall the printer from device manager, and scan for hardware changes!
If still you are getting same problems means, check with some print jobs! If everything works fine means just leave it! Sometimes for same series of printers with minor advanced features, manufacturers will give same set of drivers!

Don worry much about it!

thanks saran,
the problem i faced (past - because i manually selected 710 from the drivers available in xppro) was not because manufacturer gave same drivers for 710 and 720. it is something to do with XPpro falsely recognising 710 as 720.
the reason i say this is, 710C (that is, the drivers) is available in the list of devices in XP Pro (that i recently installed, after removing my XP home). YET, instead of recognising (and offering me the auto-selected choice) my printer as 710, it offered me ONLY the option of 720.

so, i denied the install that time, and selected 710 by going thru Add Hardware.

thank you, though, for coming in and pitching with the support.
