Who forced you? I'm pretty sure I was never forced to upgrade to anything.

Microsoft did use some pretty sneaky tactics there, for a bit.  For example when they changed the [X] close gadget to an "implied consent" to allow the upgrade to proceed.  Even they admit that was a "poor decision" on their part.

Still not the same as "forcing" someone, however.

I don't know, I have very little sympathy for someone who says that their computer runs poorly.  Or their car, or the plumbing in their house, or anything else, for that matter.  Take the time to understand it and make it better.  That's the whole "if you want something done right do it yourself" attitude, lol. :lol:

So inset HP CD

That's your first mistake.  Figure even if you bought something brand new, off the shelf today, that it's been sitting in that box for months and is almost certainly outdated.  Never, ever use the CD that comes with a piece of equipment.  Always download the latest drivers off the manufacturer's website.  Maybe that will help?

replace cd with download software, whatever.
Either way its been uninstalled, reinstalled, etc multiple times and still won't print legal size.

Try installing it on a different Windows PC.  Isolate if it's an issue with the printer or with the software.  My guess then is that it's a stuck setting somewhere.  Sometimes they're buried several layers deep.
