Problems with printer drivers - HP psc 1210

I contacted HP (via live chat) about where I can get drivers for my
psc 1210 all-in-one printer. They told me to use the printer
installation wizard, select USB001 or DOT4_001 port from the list, and
then select HP Deskjet 990c from the printer list. Does that sound
right?

I just want to know if those drivers will work with my printer. Any
ideas? I know a lot of people have had problems with the psc 1210 so I
just want to make sure things don't get ******* up. I'm not really
sure I can trust HP, the person I chatted with seemed more like a
robot than a person. And if it's as easy as using the 990c drivers,
why don't they just tell people that on their website? Seems odd to
me.

Also, I forgot to ask HP, but when should the printer be connected?
I'm supposed to use the add printer wizard, so do I connect the
printer before I start the wizard or after?

No, That does not sound right. You should be able to down load the
driver you need from the hp website.

Type in your desket 1210, select you Operating system, download and
install the driver. Leave your printer off when you do the install-you
will be prompeted to turn on your printer and connect the usb
cable....good luck!!

I should've stated in my original post that HP doesn't have only the
drivers on their website. They have the full software package, which I
don't want. I just want the drivers, and that software package doesn't
offer the option of doing a custom install.

I tried using the 990c drivers and it didn't even work. I contacted HP
again and they're completely clueless.

I'm wondering whether I could use the basic drivers for one of the
other all-in-one printers. Any thoughts?
