hp all-in-one printer installation problems
hi I have Windows 98. I am trying to install a hp
officejet 4105 all-in-one printer. I 1st recieved an error that I was trying to install a program with an incorrect format. I checked with hp and forund I needed an updated driver pack #2. I downloaded this and attempted to install it on my computer however it will not install because it cannot find a modem. I do not have a modem and the modem is not required for the all-in-one. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to use this piece of equipment. Thanks, Kari |

hp all-in-one printer installation problems
I don't know where you found out that the modem is not required, but the
faxing function of the 4105 cannot operate without the modem. It is, in fact, a fax machine that happens to have a connection to the PC. Perhaps the modem is faulty, or has been disabled in the device setup, but the modem is an essential component in this product and if it's not available then the installation will not complete. Have you run the self-test diagnostics on the machine to confirm that the modem is functional? Have you reset it to factory defaults? Have you connected it to the phone line? Have you tried to send a manual (paper) fax, and what was the result? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Kari" wrote in message ... hi I have Windows 98.

The printer will work with an external modem, but it will not use the
external modem. It will use only the modem that is built into the device. If that modem is disabled or faulty then the installation will not work. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) wrote in message ...
