Yep the 5 pages sounds right. I'll pass that on, thanks.
Tending to run two threads here, but...
By Strangely, I meant that although it lists it in the normal way, it just doesn't do anything with the highlighted printer.
I'll try again now while I'm having me tea and toast

But bear in mind, no stress, just an attempt to catch up with modern OSs.
In the mean time, I'm using HP 4000 series which seems to go, and since I now know about the bug, one of my reasons for the continued search for the correct driver, has been dispensed with. But, it would be nice to have everything just so.
Tried it again, and no, it goes through right to the end, showing the correct printer, then Finish causes a pause, and then it asks for the XP disc. Put that in and it still can't find it. Mind you, this is probably a floored copy, I'm having thoughts about looking at Vista, having been given a genuine copy of that with a computer that will have another OS on it. A chance to give the dreaded Vista a try. In a way it's a shame, cos I finally got the precise boot method that I wanted working.
