Help and advice please. I am trying to install the correct driver for an HP
Deskjet 1220c printer, I have downloaded the driver for it form HP. When I
try to download the driver, the error message WIN 9X Driver required. I
haven't got a clue as to what this is or is used for, any ideas anyone?

Yes, I have tried that, I have downloaded the driver form HP, but when are
run the set up, the error message comes up saying WIN 9X missing, I am just
interested as to what this is, because I can't get passed this stage of the
install.

Hi,
I have just upgraded to XP and tried to download the lastest HP printer
driver for a deskjet 1220c, when I tried to run this download, the error
message is saying "Win 9X driver not present". This also happens when I try
to install the Toolbox for the printer. The printer, does work, but does not
seem configured properly.

Thanks for any help.

It's a parallel connected printer, there's no choice given on the HP web site
to choose, but I do take your point. The printer does work in a fashion, I
was interested in the Win 9X error message and to what it is referring to.

Thanks for your advice and comments, much appreciated.
