I have tried several times to run the cd for this printer on th xp . The xp
does not want to recognize it for some reason. this also happens even after
I make the hp the default printer. I keep getting an error message stating
that there is a problem communicating with the printer. I know the printer
works because I can run it on my win 98 sustem.

I am a writer and the cxi is the best printer i've used so far. please help!
 
Open your Control Panel and click on the "Add Hardware" icon.
The "Add Hardware Wizard" will appear.

1. Click on Next and place a dot next to "Yes, I have already connected the hardware".
2. Click Next and scroll all the way down to "Add a new hardware device".
3. Click once to highlight it and click Next.
4. Place a dot next to "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)".
5. Click Next and scroll down to "Printers", click once to highlight and click Next.
6. Place a dot next to "Use the following port" and click Next.
7. In the "Install Printer Software Screen", on the left side scroll down to "HP"
and click once to highlight, then on the right-side scroll down to
"HP DeskJet 895Cxi", click on it to highlight and click Next to install the drivers.
