Hooking up a Deskjet 930C on USB in Windows98
Hey, folks,
Just put a new 40GB hard drive in my HP PC, and no longer have the printer driver for USB communications with my Deskjet 930C. Downloaded a driver off of HP's website, but the directions refer to hooking up the USB cable by following the directions on the Quick Start Poster, which is long gone. Anyone out there have the secret? HP wants $30 + tax to help me out (isn't that considerate?). Yours, Willy G. |

At some point, it will tell you to plug in the printer. That's it. Just remember to NOT plug in the printer until the driver is installed. If you do it early, Windows can sometimes get confused. It does more then get confused, it will install the windows default version driver. |

I think Win2K and then WinME were the first with basic drivers. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

Do you know if there is a list available somewhere that shows what printer drivers were included in 98SE? |
