HP 7960 - Workgroup Printing not sharing
Hello! Using HP Photosmart 7960 as shared printer off of XP Pro SP2 machine.
Works great for the other XP machines that share it. Tried to connect (via network share) my (new) 64Bit Vista Home Premium box to this printer. Of course, it asked for the Vista printer drivers, which do exist. So, the challenge - the drivers won't install on the XP machine, as they are Vista drivers and error out (simple message saying wrong OS). Installed the drivers on the Vista machine, which should solve the problem...it didn't. Went thru both HP directories (under x86 programs) looking for the *.inf files and according to Vista, none of them are correct. I've tried them all. Any ideas or help is appreciated! Thanks! David. |
