[BC] My Troublesome OfficeJet 7000 - Progress

[Mark Croom]

You may be able to work around the Windows 2000 problem by sharing the OfficeJet on *one* of those XP printers that works, and printing through that machine.

Yeah it's a workaround but should get them printing. I will confess to having done this on a few machines at one time or another...just to get the printer moving for a user.

I deleted that and now when I get to the printer install Finish screen, I get an error message saying that the printer cannot be installed because the printer (something or another) does not exist. Microsoft had a link to a hotfix site, which let me down a dead end. Hotfix no longer exists and the page explains upgrade strategies for a new O/S.  Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.
