RESOLUTION

    NOTE: Begin by removing previous versions of the P1100/xi printer software. To uninstall the printer software, you must use this method:

    • Double-click Setup.exe from within this C:\Temp\P1100 directory.
    • Choose "Remove the Photosmart P1100 series software".
    Before proceeding with the Web file installation, it is important there is NO CD-ROM inserted in your CD Drive while doing this software update.
