Hope I am in Correct Forum.

I was given this cpu as my old 98 compaq finally gave up the ghost. Trying to get the canon bjc-250 to install. There is no choice listed in Printers for the 250. Tried a couple of the other choices, hoping for compatibility, but no luck. (bjc 70, bjc 200, 240, 400, etc)

Went looking for and found drivers to install. But when I tried to open , error message= ...is not a valid win32 application.

Am now at a loss.

I don't know a heck of a lot about what I am doing; any help greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

CPU = Central Processing Unit

HP manufacture PC/Laptops/HandHelds, they do not make CPU's.

BJC250 drivers/setup instuctions etcetc can be downloaded from here:

Thank you. I do know the meaning of CPU, did not know the term did not apply to Hewlett Packard as this one is new, to me. I had kept the 98 Presario limping along for 8 years; this leaves me ignorant, I fear.

I will follow your included link, hope for the best and thank you for your time :)

"I do know the meaning of CPU"

I'm not so sure - it's a computer component, not the entire machine.

Referring to your computer as a "CPU" is about as accurate as calling your automobile a carburator - it's a bad habit, and irritating to 'computer folk' (humour us)

At any rate, this is the General Hardware forum but there is also a forum devoted to Windows 95/98 - still, you only need one 'right answer', and the manufacturer's site is usually the best place to find a driver

... right. I suppose folks are constantly referring to you as "the brain"?

No? (didn't think so) Perhaps another anatomical area then(?)
