What drivers are you using?
Try the ones off their site

yes i tried the ones on there web site and the ones on the cd which are the exact same ones.i'm think my problem has something to do with my old printer drivers hp 832c.under me i could unistalled the drivers in the remove programs window but in xp i was using the xp drivers with the old printer and there is no uninstall for the hp 832c i could only remove the printer itself.i notice under some of the new printer settings it shows the old printer were it can have some of the settings changes but does'nt work anyway.i may have to hook up the old printer then find out what drivers are used then manually remove them.
