Need installaton software for OfficeJet V40 on Windows ME

wrangler · 12-15-2007, 10:09 AM

I am trying to help a friend with her printer and have run into a stone wall. Her HP OfficeJet V40 was working fine with her Windows ME computer until she installed a new HP ScanJet.

The ScanJet installation interfered with the OfficeJet and now she can't print to her OfficeJet.

HP says to uninstall the OfficeJet and reinstall it. But she has lost her installation software. We hit the stone wall because HP no longer provides the installation software for the OfficeJet printer for Windows ME systems.

So we can't get her printer to work until we can uninstall and reinstall it, and we have no software to reinstall it.

Are there any reliable sources of installation software for the HP OfficeJet V40 printer on a Windows ME system?

Do I need more than drivers?

Any guidance would be most appreciated. My friend has very limited resources and cannot afford even a used XP computer (for which HP does still offer the installation software for her OfficeJet printer).

I don't know if it is still there, but it's the only thing I could find!
