Okay, we’re back, in the continuing story of the HP printer and computer that could but refused because the software was shite.

When last we spoke (#131), I’d successfully uninstalled XP Sp2 and effectively rendered a large proportion of software on the computer useless.

Now I’m installing the HP printer software. It’s a 9110 officejet btw, a hulk of a beast sitting like… well, it’s the size of a bloody kennel to be honest… on the desk next to me.

And now we wait. The progress bar is… well, we’re validating, so it could take a while.

However, I am cautiously cautious, which is what one gets after four separate attempts to get the stupid thing working.

I think I’m going to get some more tea.
