I have a few questions. Hopefully you can help.

Hi. I have a couple of questions (that are completely unrelated).

1) My dad just bought a HP laptop (w/XP Pro). We have a Dell printer hooked up to our desktop (also Dell). Is it possible to install the Dell printer drivers on his laptop?

2) I also own a HP laptop (that’s 4 years old now). Last Friday, I brought my laptop upstairs and put it on my desk (not plugged in) and it was on Standby. Around 5 minutes later I heard a click that sounded like the battery made a clicking sound (similar to when I take it out of the laptop). The laptop completely shut down at that point. Now my laptop will not even start unless the A/C adapter is plugged in. Did my battery break? Is this a sign that it’s used up? Does having the laptop on Standby or Hibernate use up battery power without my knowledge? I tried to contact HP about this and haven’t heard back from them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ^_^
