To start with, lets turn off the html, okay?
Next, make sure that the printer is supported for win2k.... not all HP
machines are Win2k compatible yet, oddly enough, especially the newer
ones.

correct printer driver. I yield the specific HP DJ 840C driver downloaded from
HP Support, but Windows complains that this isn't a suitable one and fails
the installation.
