Hi

Does anyone know wher I can obtain a copy of the HP printer Toolbox software
for a Deskjet 895Cxi. I have the HP Desljet 895c series disk but it does not
seen to be on it!?

Thanks
 
Did you look at the HP website? If the only drivers for the 895 are on the
XP CD, then HP decided it was not economically viable to produce specific
drivers for this discontinued prnter.
 
The Deskjet 895cxi toolbox is not available for XP.. this is an HP issue..

I had two printers like yours and they were really good, but I never used
them with anything other than XP.. I was aware that a support program
existed for earlier OS'es but I have never seen it personally.. was it
good?..

And now.. I think that it is abominable on the part of HP and others NOT to
offer support programs for their older printers especially as some of them
are not THAT old.. I grew up believing that HP printers lasted quite well,
and I take exception when the manufacturer fails to produce something as
simple as a support program..

I recognise that HP want us to buy new stuff, and in doing so, enable them
to remain profitable, but there are limits.. if one looks around at some
printers, the cost of new cartridges are more than buying a new printer
complete.. if a manufacturer sees some of its product line as expendable or
'throw away after using the cartridges supplied', then they should make that
fact obvious on any or all 'point of sale' blurb such that the customer can
make a more informed choice..

And before anybody quotes Caveat Emptor at me, I know all about that, but I
still think that producers of goods have an obligation to be honest..
especially a company like Hewlett Packard..
