I recently installed a next-to-bottom-of-the-line HP printer on a Windows 2000 machine. HP "recommended" I install the full software. I fell for it and it took about 45 minutes. Then I deleted all the fluffy photosmart stuff. The computer booted faster and the printer works just fine. I should have gone for the custom install. Harold in Cedaredge I agree!

I installed an HP all-in-one recently and my Windoz XP now takes forever to boot up. What can I disable in "StartUp" that will speed things up? Also, I have 54 processes running, Yikes! Please help ( I think I recently heard you say that more than 24 was unacceptable). Best, Bill Rick, agreed. I installed an HP all-in-one recently and my Windoz XP now takes forever to boot up.

I still like the old Dot Matrix printer I had many years ago until it got sick !! Side issue. New cars !! I recently bought a used 2006 minivan and got the users manual with it ! WOW !! Over 510 pages !! About 87 pages of things you should know before starting !!! Modern technology !! Printers aren't the only problem ! George I agree also.

I changed to printer cartredge to a 99 which is what it called for. It has two cartredges in it. I did the install printer cartredge check with paper looked good. When I try to print out on 5x7 from the JPG site in the document section. It goes thru all this stuff. You go into printer preferences and do all that, the print looks like crap. Not much color to it. I have Kodac easy share on my computer and the pictures look good from there. Why are the pictures so crappy with color, mostly yellow and brown. Preferences don't work correct either. Can someone help me, or do I need to go to the Chat room at HP and wait until they can try and figure it out. Is the printer not the right way to go when printing out photos. I am trying to print out some photos from Christmas that were sent by someone
