Connect HP Deskjet 812c to XP Pro

[Guest]

I am having no luck connecting my HP 812c to XP Pro.
Could I please have instructions to do so?
I have the installation disk, but still cannot connect it.

Hi Steve, How do you connect both of them?.
Here is a link if want to connect them with a cross-over cable and the two
computers should have a NICs installed to access each other:

The HP deskjet 812c is a printer and I want to connect it to my computer
through XP Pro, I do not have the XP Pro disk, the computer was given to me.

Installation instructions
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&dlc=en&docname=bpd09005

Driver for this is included with XP. Since you don't have the disk, check
your machine for an I386 folder - this includes the installation files that
should include the drivers. If you don't have that, can you borrow a disk?
(For that matter, do you have a COA showing that your copy of XP is legit?)

If you still want the driver, a little googling would have eventually
brought you here:

FWIW, you'll get better throughput to the printer by using a USB to Parallel
converter cable rather than just hooking it up to the parallel port. XP, by
design, poorly supports parallel port operation.

Ooops! Sorry Litespeed Mistakos <grin>. Thanks Val, for picking up this and
clear it to Litespeed.
Yeep, Check for the latest driver from HP website for the * DeskJet * your
CD may defective or damaged.
Also be sure you connecting the printer cable the Right way ( i.e the male
side to the computer and female side to the printer that for the Parallel
cable)
The USB is straight forward procedure.
