HP Deskjet 656c

This printer is identified by windows XP as an ApolloAplollo P2500/2600 printer

Have tried it on another machine and it does the same

Why is it being identified incorrectly by windows?

Thankyou Peter

Both machines WinXP?

See if you can download the XP specific drivers for this printer here:

Thankyou for your help

HP sold a number of printers with the Apollo brand name.

These were mainly low cost bundled printers for cheap consumer PC systems.

I suspect that your printer has the same ROM as the Apollo, and XP was not written to tell the difference.

Ichecked at HPs site, the 656 does look like the Apollo printer.
Here is the like to HP's US XP driver page:
