Re: HP Removed Drivers My old, we talking old, 7700 series laptop's still supported, with OSes
from 3.1 to 2000. Maybe just printers, or maybe they just ain't got
'round to dumping everything yet.
Quote from HP:
" Microsoft discontinued Windows 98/ME shipments in June 2002/2003
respectively.
HP’s Windows 98/ME driver discontinuance is directly related to the
fact that there is no longer Microsoft resources allocated to issue
management."
Don't know why they couldn't have left the old stuff available for
download, though.
