I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. I'll take a stab at it.\n\nIf your looking for the software for that printer click on this link\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=58553&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=13&submit.x=3&cc=us&lang=en\n\nThey also do have some walk-thrus for you. Choose your Operating system, and continue from there.

The problem isn't the printer, the problem is the operating system.   Windows 98 has horrible USB support.  Either update the drivers though the Microsoft website, or put the printer on a LPT  port.

Well, talk about annoying, and expensive, too. Yes on consulting with Hewlett Packard about how to fix. The guy at Staples told me to shut the printer off when I am not using it. He said the heat inside the printer can sometimes do a number on the ink cartridge, so I have been shutting the printer (an old 1994 HP 520 Deskjet) off when not cranking out earthshaking documents and lo and behold, the ink does seem to last longer. I have a hunch, however, your issue is different. Be sure to get in touch with Hewlett Packard and get them to give you a crystal clear answer that makes sense to you. It's to their advantage they help you enjoy their own product. Also, have a good summer, by balancing the frustration of printer problems with time spent outside running around and having fun, generally. I am wishing you the best summer yet!

Check the port you have the printer hooked up to.\n\nSee if it working properly and has no conflicts, control panel, hardware devices.\n\nPlug it in and then under control panel add new hardware.\n\nIt should recognize it and will run the wizard and ask you for the installation drivers.\n\ngood luck

Whats the problem?  what do you need fix?  We know the printer type from your question HP2550 put we don't know the problem.  You can add information to this question.\n\nOtherwise I am going to suggest the printers user manual look in trouble shooting section.  I f manual is not available go to www.hp.com and search your printers model type and find the manuals there.

I had one of those printers and it stopped printing all together and I had to punch some "extra holes" in the print cartridge and place a warm washcloth over it; it only worked for a few prints though.  Good luck.  I think it's some sort of scam, b/c when I researched it, hundreds of people were having the same problem.  I ended up just buying a new printer.   Good luck.

Power cord is loose.   The printer is BROKEN.  \n\nTake it back to the store where you bought it. or get a new one.

Go into your control panel and click on printers...check to make sure that your default printer isn't "Print to a Fax File"...the default is the one with the check mark on it. If your printer isn't the one checked...right click it and select "Use as Default" That should fix it :)

Hello. I recently purchased an HP 3600n Color Laser* from Office Depot to replace 2 of my three printers. To date I am very happy with the results. It did not completely replace my HP G85, since it is also my primary fax machine. It did however replace my Lexmark 4039 10Plus and all primary color printing. It still leaves me with an OkiData 390 to print labels. I use the 5000 box of continious feed labels, so at the moment there is nothing I can do about replacing it. Between my two companies, the wifes eBay and the three kids printing daily, we print a case of paper a month (5000 sheets).\nI would have loved to have purchased an all-in-one color laser but all things consided I am very happy.\nOne thing that swayed me to the HP, in that price range, was it came with a print server built in.\n\nI hope this helpped.

If it worked properly at first, and it is locked in correctly it may have been handled too much and is soiled. Remove the cartridge and clean the contacts in the printer socket and the cartridge itself with rubbing alcohol. CAreful not to leave bits of paper or rag behind. Inspect areas with bright light and magnifying glass and remove any debris.\nIt could also use a reinstall of software.\nIf it isn't available, quite often deleting the software, shutting off the computer with the printer turned on, wait 5 minutes and turn the computer back on. It should discover the printer and reinstall appropriate software for it.

1. What does the pop-up message say.\n   Reading the message may cause you to solve problem yourself\n\n2. Sure your operating system has tools to deal with problem , else your printer software or HELP should help.\n\n - - - more details please !

Is this a network printer? If so you may have to log onto it. I have the same problem every morning! I have to access that pc and log on as administrator before my pc will even recognise that the printer is available on the network to share. Before finding this solution I had to restart everything each day.
