HP printer 880C
Hey!
I had a WinXP pc with HP printer 880C.
Changed to a new pc now with Win7.
According to what HP say they do no longer support this printer for Win7. However I found that this printer can indeed be used with Win7, because MS made a special driver for it and have this driver available for download and install, and it can work perfectly the printer is connected to the pc with a USB cable. So I bought me one and prepared same for connecting to my PC.
After adding a printer device via regular way Start - Add printer - local port and after downloading Windows driver update for the printer I could install driver for HP 882C, which is the same printer as HP880C as far as the driver is concerned. I then connected the cable but configuring the LPT1 port did not work, nor could I switch to a USB port and configure it. Although everything seems to work correct on my screen, but printing itself does not work. So I can see on the screen and give all instructions for printing and these instructions are visible on the screen in similar windows as it was before with Win XP...
So I wonder: What did I wrong? Why does my printer not work, whereas everything seems to be OK?
Does anybody know what I can do ?....
