So, does it matter if both systems have different drivers? The computer will have the XP version and my laptop will have the win 7. The only problem is that drivers.com won't pick up the printer because it is not directly connected to my laptop. Secondly, i was able to download the driver only to the laptop if it was directly wired to it. So i think i need to manually download the driver and apply it to the XP computer. Also, one more problem, i cannot add or change the driver on my laptop. When i choose to add a different driver from the xp computer, it only gives me options for earlier versions of windows, like 2000, 98, etc.
only do the following if this statment is true
you have windows 7 on your pc the printer is connected to that via usb lead you are running xp on your laptop and whant to use the printer via network
delete the printer from your laptop make sure the printer is shered on the pc go to your laptop add printer brouse pick the printer then follow on screen prompts
good luck

Hi
I'm a novice at this I can get to add printer, then add a printer if you don't have a USB port and to Windows update but it does not have in HP 930c. Can you please advise.
Thank you kindly:)[/QUOTE]
I don't know what you mean by .."if you don't have a USB port.."
When you select Add a Printer
Select Local Printer
Then select use existing port and leave it at LPT1 for now.
Select next
Then select Windows update.
It will return an updated printer list that does have a driver for that printer.
Just wanted to say Thanks to you guys for the help in gettting my HP P1000 printer to work.
The 970, 990c and 990Csi drivers also work for the Photoshop P1XXX series inkjets.

STEPS:
1. In "Devices and Printers" click "Add a printer"
2. Select "Add a local printer" - IGNORING the "only if you don't have a USB printer" (Trust me.)
3. Under the "Use and existing port" option, select "USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)
4. Click "Next" then "Windows Update"
5. After a few seconds, the "HP Deskjet 930C/932C/935C" option will appear.
6. Highlight it and click "Next"
VOILA'! Yeah, it miffs me that the printer name and icon are not for my P1000, but hey, "the proof is in the printing"! And, using the menus, I can even clean my cartridge.
Thanks for the tip on the 930C - something I'd never have tried otherwise.
I'm running Win 7 Professional on a MacBook Pro in a Bootcamp partition. FYI, with 4 GB RAM it SCREAMS on PC games!

I tried following the above steps, but the printer is printing only blank pages. What do I need to do?
[edit]
Nevermind. It's working now. I chose the wrong printer driver.
Note that I'm not suffering from the "phase" problem described earlier. All the text is crystal clear.
