182044	2003-10-10 10:53:00	A friend bought a new Proview XP computer, but she retained her 1999 Hewlet Packard printer having just spent 200 dollars having it cleaned and fitted with 2 new ink bottles. She found that the two are incompatible in one way only i.e. the setting is for American A4 paper and I need European A4 for making cards, my main use of the computer. The firm that overhauled the printer talked her through and she got the setting altered but the default reverted. Apparently Hewlet Packard don't supply updates to make the 1999 printer compatible to XP. Can you help please?	billbarbob (3355)

I have an HP Laser, and the default has always been Letter, it always reverts to it. However when using it from any program, the program settings remain on A4 and override the printer driver settings.	godfather (25)
