HP does only provides Windows drivers for this model.

Hello.

Give this a try:

1. Power off your printer
2. Remove and reinsert the cartridges. You should hear a "click" when properly seated.
3. Power on printer.
4. If light is out, print a test page for realignment.

Note: Be certain that the tab is removed from the cartridges and you are using "genuine" HP cartridges.

Hope this helps.

According to HP's Website ...

"The driver solution for this product is included in your Windows XP operating system and is already on your computer. There is no need to download anything. Follow the steps below to quickly and easily get your product working with Windows XP."

But the info on how to get it to work if having issues if also found on that page.

you need to check the head of the printer, im sure is bad, it depends how old is the printer but the head on the printer goes bad if printer has not been used for long time or if you left the old empty cartridge seating inside for a lont time, you can do a head check on the settings of the printer and also do an alignment thank you

You shouldn't need any software to print to this printer under XP, just let XP find the best or closest match to your printer and install it. It might be a Deskjet 700 or something but it'll work as a printer. The old software was probably for Windows 98.

Luckily most manufacturers offer their drivers online, and in the case of this particular printer, there is no need for any additional drivers. HP states on their website for this printer, Windows XP has the drivers pre-loaded on it already.

For instructions on how to load the drivers, follow the link below and click on the 712C link, then select your operating system.

yes..that means there is something amiss with your print drivers or print manager.

www.hp.com is a good place to get new versions of each.

Try downloading GutenPrint 5.1.4 It is a collection of open source printer drivers. Based on reviews and comments, it seems to have worked with older printers.
