Hello

The program I have is XP download mode virtual,as I already have the printer win 7,I had hp total care and I was told I couldn't use the printer on XP as it only supports one license.

I am being careful as the computer crashes last month ,may of deleted the wrong downloads

Just to clarify, what has only 1 license? Win 7, XP pro or the printer?

HI 

printing on XP

I downloaded a driver for XP  never solved the problem 

 Am I doing some thing wrong.The printer I am trying to install would  be in Virtual XP mode so should I down load the XP drivers from XP not from Windows 7 Professional.

made a note of the download.

From what I understand of Virtual Windows XP mode in Windows 7, it should support connection to the printer through USB. That is not something we have tested or support, so I can't vouch for its functionality.

However, it does show Windows 7 drivers available here:

Just select which version of Windows 7 you have, and you will get a selection of drivers and/or software available. That would not need the Virtual Windows XP mode, but the software could be different.
