I have a HP Pavallion a200n computer. I am trying to load a HP 5150 PRINTER. The computer will not RECOGNIZE the printer. I tried loading the drivers from the HP disk and HP website, neither worked. I tried a Dell printer with the same results. Both PRINTERS work on different computers, please advise, ThanksIs it new printer on that machine? Did you follow manual, for instance, install drivers before connecting printer?1. Operating System(s). What operating system are you using on the HP Pavallion a200n computer? WINDOWS XP? Home Edition or Professional? Original, Service Pack 1 (SP1), or Service Pack 2 (SP2)?

What operating system(s) are on the computers where the printers work?

2. Type of Interface (USB, Parallel, Other). When you say "trying to load a HP 5150 printer", are you connecting the printer directly to the HP Pavallion a200n computer (USB, parallel port) or are you just trying to load the drivers for a network printer that is physically attached to different computer?
