Yes you can use the same printer with Xp. All you need to do is connect the printer with machine, if it doesn't install the driver and ask you to install the driver manually. Then goto hp website and download and install printer drivers for xp. Good luck!
2 :
is your printer compatible with windows xp? take a look at the installer cd of your printer if its compatible with XP! if its is!.. you can use your printer to your new laptop!

You should be able to. It is possible you may have to download new drivers off of HP's website if you do not already have XP drivers for it. And if your connection does not match up you may have to buy an inexpensive adapter (IE like a parallel to USB adapter) at a store like Best Buy or Radio Shack.
