HP Officejet V40 on Windows 2000 Pro

2317 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  ronenfe
I have an HP Officejet V40 All-In-One. I managed to install and get this printer to work fine on XP Home, however I cannot get it to work on Windows 2000. When I first installed it, Windows picked it up and I managed to install the software fine. However then the computer stops picking up the printer, it acts as if its not there. I uninstall all the software, plug the printer in and Windows picks it up at "Unknown Device" or not at all, so I install all the software and it still doesn't work.

Any help with this please?

Thanks.

Daniel.

Try plugging it into another USB port. For someone reason that seems to work for me most of the time.
I have, i've tried my ports at the front and the back, no luck.
i'm a pc tech. i had an unknown device problem with an hp all in one officejet with xp, i fixed it by changing the usb cable, maybe to a usb 1 cable instead of the usb 2 cable, i suggest you try it.
