ALERT!

Printer Driver Support for Windows 98

Effective June 1, 2007, HP support for Windows 98 will end:

1.

There will be no further support of the HP Windows 98 traditional printer

drivers;

2.

There will be no further development or enhancements of the Windows 98

printer drivers;

3.

There will be no support for defect resolution for the Windows 98 printer

drivers.

Effective June 30, 2007, all Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98/ME printer drivers will be

removed from hp.com:

1.

HP’s licensing agreement with third-party providers granting use of their

components will expire.

2.

HP’s licensing agreement to redistribute Microsoft’s USB files has expired.

3.

Basic support for your HP product will be available through the use of prior

printer or ‘legacy’ printer drivers.

ALERT!

HP LaserJet P2010 Series printers must be in compliance with Microsoft.

Therefore, HP has removed the Microsoft USB files in Windows 98.

The Windows 98

driver is still on the in-box CD, and will work with Windows 98 if a HP printer driver has

previously been installed successfully on the Windows 98 computer system via USB.

The driver on the inbox CD can be installed now because the Microsoft files needed

should already be on the computer system.

Please note:

The solution for printing using

Windows 98 will work as long as the customer has previously installed an HP printer via

USB on the computer system. We do not have a solution for customers that have never

installed a HP printer via USB on their Windows 98 system.
