HP all-in-one after SP2

[milor]

My HP 6110 worked fine with XP until I installed SP@. Now printing normal text takes 20+ minutes per page. HP and MS say they have a firmware fix which I have tried several times without luck. I have uninstalled, reinstalled print drivers and tried to uninstal SP2 but I have been unsuccessful. The instructions for uninstalling SP2 have been followed but the files mentioned in the instructions are not on my computer.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance

You tried the firmware fix more than once? Did you get an error message the first time? Can you verify that the fix was applied?

[milor]

Yes tried several times. Dialogue box said firmware updated OK. Also asked HP's diagnostic to check to see if I needed any up grades and they responded by saying there were no upgrades required. I also spent an hour on the phone to a HP consultant but that ended in frustration and the advice I was given was that I should take the printer to a HP service centre. I live in the country and this was not practicable.

Well I would make the drive to let them deal with it, if they offered to.

Can you reinstall Windows if you have to, after backing up your data?

[milor]

Yes I can re-instal windows but would rather not have to, you know how much time it takes.
However I appreciate your response to my query and maybe I'll take to HP but I fear they will charge as much as a new printer and a new printer will not use the same inks as this one!

Oh, I thought it was under warranty and this might be a free repair, if needed.

No such luck.
