Windows XP Wont Allow HP Deskjet 656c To Print
Hello everyone,
Ok, basically I have an HP Deskjet 656c (also known as the apollo 2500/2600). The problem I have is that it will not print anything when running on the Windows XP O/S. I used to have it hooked up to my ME O/S machine and it worked fine. When I attempt to print off of any word processing program (even notepad) the printer just sits there, and it doesn't even get pooled. When I run it inside of the print assstant it feeds the paper through, and nothing is printed. - I assumed that the driver CD that came with my printer, was for windows 95/98/ME/Millenium...SO I went to the HP site and downlaoded the driver that stated it was for the Windows XP O/S. I did a complete clean installation of it, following the onscreen and websites instructions. The same problem above had occured when I tried to re-print.. So basically I am not sure if it is my computer, O/S or the driver file? Sorry for the long read, hope it was clear enough to understand...if not just post and Ill clarify anything  Thanks for reading! P.S - I am running Windows XP Professional, and when I say clean install I mean removing it from add/remove, deleting it from the printers/faxes and also deleting files in the Program Files folder |

I'm unable to find anything for that printer. It's pretty old (earlier than 1998) so support just may not exist anymore.

Hmm..
I did a few searches and came accross a few sites, one being the actual HP website...
However after reading almost every topic on it, downloading drivers and also checking the troubleshooting guides...I remain with a printer that will feed the paper thorugh (when I use HP Assiatant), but won't do any actual printing... Here's one of the main links that I have used, mabye somone can check it out and let me know what they find anything I may have missed? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=61278&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us Thanks for reading, if anything remains unclear let me know |
