Thanks for the answer.  However it seems I don't have the printer installed.  Since I got my new computer last week I don't see HP 4550 installed.   In the past only HP 4550 worked no other letters or number at the end.  How can I get Updated software for the printer.  I paid alot for this printer and want to use it.   I have the disk but I guess it is so old it won't read it.  Can you HELP!!!!  I appricate your help.

Did you resolve your issue by installing the universal driver from the link I gave above?  If not an alternative would be to use the Driver Wizard from http://www.hp.com/go/tools.
