    Help Long shot i know but need a driver for Win ME

    My uncle has an old pc running ME and has bought a new HP photosmart C5180 printer, problem 1 is it wont install to ME and problem 2 is HP no longer offer drivers for ME.

    Can anyone advise where i might find a driver or any possible solution?

    Thanx
    Cheers

    HP never made a driver for that printer to work under any of the 9x OS's to start with, so unless anybody has intentionally written one (unlikely) then you'll be out of luck.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    Gteyfox has a point M8.If you bump up the memory and maybe a bigger hard drive it may run XP OK.
    Ive put it on a PII 500 and 256 Meg of ram and its quite happy.Plus it has better driver and USB support, and is more secure.
