   So, is "ll" supposed to mean eleven (11) or 2 (in Roman numerals)?  The   
   HP LaserJet 2 was introduced back in 1987.  I would think XP first   
   released in 2001 would have the embedded drivers for the old printer.   
   Did you walk through the Add Printer Wizard to see if your printer was   
   listed?
