I tried to set the works laptop with win2000, up with the hp2000 laserjet printer both new.
I used the USB option, win2000 found new hardware and asked for driver, which i inserted....then it sort of set-up and eventually printed test page, but flashed with a blue screen that vanished after 2 seconds...but it started to say something like "plug n play error".
It would then re-boot the laptop, re-pickup the printer and then re-boot.
Tried safemode.....no joy. the printer is there but says no drivers loaded, when i try to re-load the drivers..it says they are already installed.
Tried unistalling and re-setting up...still same prob.
I have no knowledge of win2000, should i try the parallel lead set-up? I would rather do it the usb way...any ideas?
