Just had a problem when my HP950 went crunch - mechanical death. As a temp measure, fitted and older HP859, but the disc I had with it was for up to Win 98 & NT. It just would not load onto Win 2K. So I went to the HP downloads website, entered Win 2K and the printer model, followed the instructions and downloaded the Win 2K driver. Installation went fine and the printer is perfect.
You may wish to go down that route...
