Trouble installing printer driver
I found the driver on my network. I attempted to install and I received an
alert that stated "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The printer driver is not compatable with a policy enabled with a policy enable on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 Driver. I have a new computer operating Windows Vista Home Edition I need to install this driver. Please help Chuck |

Try downloading and installing Vista compatible drivers from the printer
manufacturer's website. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Chuck B" wrote in message ... I found the driver on my network.

Trouble installing printer driver
Sure. Like THAT'S going to work. So far, most printer manufacturers have
little desire to update their printer drivers for their 'older' products. They really want to force us to go out and purchase a new printer, so they can suck more cash out of us. Ignorant fools can't see that if they provided good Vista drivers for their older printers we would spend even more on ink and paper supplies than we would on a new printer. Heck with it. I'll just scrape Vista off my new machine and return to XP. At least ALL of my peripherals worked with that OS!
