HP 855C print quality in Win 98

[BuddyB]

Under win95, this printer produced very good pics, even on plain paper,
The pic quality is much poorer under win98.
I tried installing the win95 drivers and that worked until I rebooted.
(win 98 came with apparently a short version of printer drivers for this
printer.
Any ideas appreciated.
Wonder If I selected another printer driver if quality would improve?

Go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/eng/support.html and search for a
driver for your printer. Apparently the driver from the Win98 cd isn't the
best one.

Thanks, did that years ago.
Last one posted is for win 95. W98 install is the ref for any later
drvrs.

It has been a while, but my father in law was having the same problem with a
DeskJet 850. I installed the Win 95 driver on his Win 98 system and it worked
fine, and restored the quality issues missing in the default Win 98 driver.
