Hi!

It's getting really bad in some cases: for example a lot of $899 HP
printers that are just a year or three old do not have ANY print
drivers available from HP for the latest 64-bit XP.

Now that is truly odd. I've found that HP has usually done a good job of
providing updated drivers for many older products.

Really ?

Easily a decade ago I recall getting a DJ500C ? and it wouldn't install on WFWG
it was 'unsupported' as a 'network printer'.
