HP photosmart 7660 setup - why so hard?
Just bought a "recycled" computer and a 19" monitor at the local Boomers store which work perfectly.
However, my MIL gave also me this HP 7660 printer which refuses to setup on the new machine running Win98ME. I tried two different cables, all the USB ports, and eventually talked with an HP tech on their online service. Helpful, but not fruitful! Any thoughts for troubleshooting? I did follow the instructions on the HP site and tried also to install manually using Control Panel, Printers, Printer Setup. Jeez, it shouldn't be this hard! |

So you have Win98 SE as ME is Millenium Edition, as you had Win95 98 98SE ME XP and soon to be Vista, then thing is with Win98SE it can be a pain trying to setup on USB have you tried a serial cable?

with a win98 machine, you'll need to make sure you have drivers for the USB, plus the drivers+programs for the printer.. see if theres a specific driver download from the hp website specificaly for the 98.
