installed hp office jet v40xi for windows xp (does not print)

[mbr]

the soft ware was installed, it shows an icon of a
printer but does not print from xp or any other window
based program. i uninstalled, unplugged printer, re-
installed and still have the problem, plug and play
wizard does not find the added hardware, yet the printer
prints manually when you pick option 1 to print.

Follow the directions here to reinstall your drivers. Note that the printer
should be off until after the driver is installed. There is also a link in
this article to check for a newer driver.

If this doesn't help, try a new USB cable. Be sure test with one that is
not more than 6' long. Some printers are not able to communicate correctly
with longer cables.
