IMPORTANT: Start with Step A, and complete the steps in order.
Step A: UNINSTALL prior Officejet software and POWER OFF your Officejet.
1. Click Start, click All Programs, point to HP Officejet, and then click Uninstall Software.
2. POWER OFF your Officejet and leave it powered off until the installation program prompts you to power it on.
3. Restart your computer.

Once you have entered Setup, locate the configuration section for your Parallel Port and modify it to read ECP. If ECP is not a choice, use a variation of ECP, such as ECP & EPP, or ECP DMA1. Save your changes and restart your PC.
