HP is not supporting this printer for W2K and XP..  They have not made drivers for 
it.  The drivers in XP are basic ones that won't be able to use the advanced and 
thus, higher resolutions (and possible the color depth) that the old Win 9X drivers 
would.  This is common of most all drivers included with XP when the manufacturer 
is not writing drivers for the hardware.  If the oprtions are not in the driver, 
you may be stuck with what you have now...:-(
