HP Printer Original CD's
I have several older HP printers and want to go about getting the
original (or most recently released) HP installation CD's. HP will charge +$10.00 for each CD but offer drivers for free. Most of the time these CD's have other useful tools/apps besides the drivers. Is there a site which has CD ISO images for download? Does HP have them buried on their FTP site? Looking for ISO's of install CD's for: Deskjet 990Cse PSC 750 PhotoSmart P1000 Thanks |

Other content on the CD could be copyrighted, or licensed as such to be only available on CDs available for sale or included with hardware. |

HP Printer Original CD's
Be aware that some HP printers may not have updated drivers for newer
operating systems, and that most HP printer, scanner and digital camera drivers for Win98 are currently not available due to agreements with Microsoft, which do not allow for publication or distribution of drivers containing MS code for no longer supported OSs. I am still working on trying to change this policy at Microsoft and will provide information if and when such changes are facilitated. This same problem may not be a problem for other printer manufacturers, as it depends upon if certain MS code was incorporated into the driver or not. To date, it would appear Epson drivers, for instance, used their own driver code in most cases, which allows them to get around this problem. In the meantime, I can only suggest you try to Google for such items where someone might have them available on the web. Do keep in mind that the original CDs often contained drivers which ended up requiring updates to correct for bugs and OS changes that were made after the product was released. Also, I suggest people using such peripherals as discussed above make sure to maintain backup versions of the drivers they are using currently in case their system should corrupt and need to be reloaded.

To be honest I am a bit surprised you haven't found this on your own, took me 10 secs on hp. But hey, what are ng's for: helping each other. Cheers! |
