HP Printer Drivers SOS

perplexe -

Hello,

I just bought a PC equipped with Windows XP
and I did so solely to benefit from Outlook Express 6, which I have been using
for years.

This PC has no browser installed.

This is very annoying because I have emails to print
and, due to the lack of a browser, I am unable to download
the drivers for my printer.

Would you see a solution?

Best regards

    Hello,

     I am unable to download the drivers for my printer.

    Download the driver from another PC
    Put it on a USB stick
    Transfer it to the XP PC

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For a browser (latest version compatible with XP) -->> Firefox 52.9.0esr <<--

    Hello,

    Thank you for your help but I need a clarification.

    In the Programs folder of my 2nd computer, which is equipped with the latest version of Windows,

    there are two folders

    that should contain the printer driver.

    One is called HP and the other HP PrintScanDoctor.

    Should I transfer these two folders to the XP PC?

    Best regards

    It's the printer driver that you need to download and transfer.

    What's the model number of the HP printer?

    Sorry !!!!! Forget my previous message.

    By clicking on "ENVY 4525", the podcast playback would start, indeed,

    but the download of the .exe file would also begin.

    I will test it tomorrow on the XP PC and keep you updated on the result.

    Thank you and good evening

    Hello,

    I have successfully placed the .exe file on the XP PC from a USB drive.

    Unfortunately, when I execute it, the following message appears:

    HP-DQEX5.exe - Entry Point Not Found

    The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

    Is SP3 properly installed?

    If not, download and install in this order: SP3, Framework 3.5, and IE8:
    --> SP3
    --> Framework 3.5
    --> IE 8

    There you go, I can print.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    And I'm going to allow myself to ask you
    for another problem, somewhat similar.

    Even though I need this XP PC mainly
    for Outlook Express 6 and not to surf
    the Internet, a browser could eventually
    come in handy one day.

    So, I copied the .exe file of Firefox
    to the XP PC that I had downloaded thanks to my Windows 10 PC.

    Unfortunately, when I tried to execute it,
    the following message appeared:

    C:\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

    What is the problem?

    Does it work with IE 8?

    Hello,

    IE8 launches but it's impossible to browse web pages.

    For example, when I try to go to Google, the following message appears:

    Security Alert

    You are about to view pages over a secure connection.

    The information you exchange on this website will be encrypted to prevent third parties from reading it.

    And when I click OK, a new message appears:

    The security certificate for this website has a problem.
