I have installed the HP 3820 on my Win 98SE on USB with no problems. I
didn't need any USB utility.
Sometimes the easiest solution is to uninstall the driver and start over
again. I would print out a test page through windows which shows you a
list of the files that have been installed with the driver. After
uninstalling the driver, go to your windows folder and make sure all the
files are gone. Shut down your computer before reintalling the driver,
not just a reboot.
Good luck.

<pre wrap="">I am trying to install an HP 3820 printer on my father's PC. Running
Win 98 SE.
When using the printer on the parallel port, it regularly spews out
paper, stops, prints vertically etc. I have had exactly the same
trouble on a different machine using an HP690C printer.
I tried to install onto the USB port. The install programme on the CD
would not recognise the printer, repeatedly. Then I let Windows run
through automatically when iyt found new hardware, and because the
drivers had been extracted and were on drive C:, it prooceeded to load
the printer. The printer then worked, until I had a call a few days
later from my old man saying it was not working again.
I have installed his printer on my USB ports no worries. So I thought
maybe it was the USB on his PC. So I installed my USB scanner on his
machine. No worries, twice.
I downloaded the latest drivers for the 3820. WHen I tried to run the
install programme, on either machine, with or without the printer
connected, it simply came up saying "Loading...10%", sat there for 5
seconds and disappeared. AFAICS nothing had happened. I downloaded
again with the same result.
I have contected HP who got me to download (against my protests) the
XP/2000 version. It did exactly the same thing.
Does anyone have any helful hints, please?
