  • Basic print driver for HP OfficeJet Pro X476dw

    I just bought an HP OfficeJet Pro X476dw MFP. Installed it flawlessly in 5 computers with modern OS's. But, I also have a computer with Windows 2000 which runs a legacy software I cannot let go. The only thing I need is to be able to print, no other functions required.
    Is there a basic driver that would do the job?
    I remember a few years earlier that a basic driver for HP 7150, worked fine on a windows 98 machine for printing in a 7780 OfficeJet Pro.
    Any suggestions?

      Nut, thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, running the package you suggested, returned a "This is not a valid Win32 application" error.

        Well, it seems that I found a solution. Started the "Add Printer" wizard, chose "Local" instead of "Network" printer, then created a new TCP/IP port (chose HP standard TCP/IP port), inserted the IP address of the X476dw, then selected to use the same driver (that is, the OfficeJet Pro L7780 driver that was already installed in the PC), and, ... , there I go, prints fine on the X476dw.
