I installed windows 2000 XP on my computer and can't seem
to get a printer to work on it now I have unistalled, re-
installed several times. My printer is a HP 3820 te
installation disc says it is for windows 95.98.NT
4.0,2000,Me &/or XP but it always comes up missing some
file or another I downloaded a upgrade from HP for this
specific printer but it won't install that either WHAT IS
THE PROBLEM HERE??

TRY THIS!

I found the answer. Printer is working fine!

Problem is SleepMode in printer. During XP installation,
the printer was ON but went into SleepMode by the time XP
got to installation.

Printer goes into SleepMode after 15 minutes of
Inactivity.

SOLUTION 1: I had to standby and PRESS the bottom buttons
everytime the GREEN light went out.

SOLUTION 2: XP during installation, failed to make the
printer go into READY mode so that it could be updated by
XP. So MS should add that WAKE-UP to a path.

Looks like this could apply to ALL HP printers with
SleepMode!

Sincerely,

John
