HP Deskjet 5650
"Peter M" wrote in message ... Much more elegant than my attempt.. kudos. That is Rather Weird. I have the HP DeskJet 940C connected via USB, and it has never-failingly worked in Vista (in fact, it has routinely auto-detected the printer without my having to do anything). The only thing I have had to do is set it as my default printer. It even gets the model number right (apparently, Vista's HP Universal Printer Driver *does* differentiate between certain models of HP printers). In that aspect, Vista's HP Universal Driver is just like that of Windows XP (Plug and Print). But then, the *same* DeskJet is also supported in Linux (and even Solaris) via CUPS. I'm using the USB cable included with the printer and do *not* have it connected to a hub (it's connected directly to the computer). Christopher L. Estep
