I`m having problems getting a HP-812c printer to work on an XP home system. I thought I read somewhere that there is an issue with XP and HP printers but damn if i can find where I read that.

It`s a new Dell system with XP installed. The printer has worked flawlessly on a homemade W98 machine but even when XP detects and installs the driver there appears to be no communication between PC and printer after installation. I`ve checked the HP site and the latest drivers are on the XP system. The 812c is listed as compatible and I`ve even tried several of the other listed drivers with no success. (I know of one office setting where we have to load the Laserjet 4L drivers to run the LaserJet 6L printers)

I`m hoping someone may have some info or similar problems they`ve encountered that may help.

Thanks
