HP Photosmart 1100 printer Win2K
This is a discussion about HP Photosmart 1100 printer Win2K in the Windows Hardware category; I'm using the HP Photosmart 1100 printer on Win 2K with parallel. The drivers for 2K @ the HP website do not work. They hang my system (no virus scan, no Roxio etc. ) during install. The HP Forum is full of posts with people trying to run the 1100 on Win 2K and there are a lot of frustrated users.

The HP Forum is full of posts with people trying to run the 1100 on Win 2K and there are a lot of frustrated users. HP doesn't seem to have an answer that they will publish but they'll gladly talk you through some 'registry tweaks' they claim will work for $25 if your warranty has expired.
I saw (here) that the NT4 drivers will work in parallel. Tried it and they do work although I can't have the printer connected to the parallel cable at boot or the machine hangs on the white 2K spash screen. If I boot with printer disconnected, the machine boots fine. I can then connect the parallel cable and it seems to print just fine.
Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
