Compaq Printer will not work

[Guest]

When I was using Windows 98, my Compaq IJ650 printer worked fine. After installation of XP Home Edition, it will not print. I have tried installing drivers to resolve the compatability issue, since the printer was meant to operate using w98. That not working, I set it up so as to use w98 settings for the printer, to no avail once again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and drivers several times
Error messages include not able to communicate with printer ( cables fine by the way) and anothererror message that comes up shows i am missing a dll file....
Any ideas???

Did you install the XP printer driver ?

Yes.... I went to Compaq's (hp) website and downloaded
the drivers that would make it compatible to work with xp.
