Dude, that must be one technological oddity. I could find nothing for it anywhere. Good luck.

I'd recommend driverguide.com, but they don't have a driver for that printer for ANY OS, let alone XP.

I'd seriously doubt your going to get it to work. I couldn't find any drivers for it, let alone for XP. Tell your client that some things just aren't possible (heck, tell him/her that ink costs are much cheaper on the newer printers & if he gets a decent one, it'll pay for itself in a year or two.)
