For crying out loud...can we talk about HP printers please?

I can print a test page...but no color...HP DesignJet 9650 and HP DesignJet
500 (large format printer)...I've got over $3,000 in my printers, so don't
suggest buying "Epson" as a solution.

Vista is NOT ready to go...it ain't even close.

"Gadgets" are real neat...but I need to load AutoCAD 2004 and my HP printer
drivers and get back to work...I've lost days to this ridiculous OS.

I am truly embarassed for Microsoft.

Ok 2 different things happen:

1. If I click on the link in your message header I go to a page that says
Help and support The small window says "Windows Vista Newsgroups" but the
rest of the windows / areas are blank.


Please capture what's in your Address bar then and post the result.



2. If I click on the link at the bottom of your post I go to "Windows Vista,
Printing, Faxing, and Scanning" group. But at the bottom it says it only has
2 pages. The "Printing, Faxing, and Scanning" group I came from has 306
pages.


That's the URL I asked you for first or perhaps more importantly
I'd like to know where you linked to it from.

E.g. this one which is where you posted originally is actually
titled General Discussions under Windows Internet Explorer.
That's newsgroup's archive now has 307 "pages".

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...999&sloc=en-us



I also notice a slight title difference. Window Vista, Printing, Faxing, and
scanning versus Printing, Faxing, and scanning . Curious?


Yes. That's why I am requesting details so I can understand
how it is happening. w


BTW did you know you could also use your Vista's Windows Mail app
to read newsgroups in NNTP?

Use this server if you want to try that. I'll give you the link that OE could use
but I'm not certain if WM can use it the same way or not:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/


E.g. if that doesn't work as a link for WM strip off the news:// prefix
and use the rest as the server name for NNTP news.

In OE you could then just type c.w vist to see all the Vista newsgroups
listed (for English readers.), pick ones you want to "subscribe" to, etc.

You Installed a beta OS on a computer you use for work??? I suggest you
re-install whatever you used before so you can use your printer and AutoCAD
again. Testing a Beta OS is not worth it if its going to effect your
business!! Besides its normally recommended to test Beta programs on spare
machines, not the computer you need for work.

Plus I suspect many of the drivers people are moaning about wont appear till
Vists is finnally rolled out to public at earliest!

Sorry if that seems a bit mean, but it does seem a bit silly.

Hello Pete. This is probably a little too late to be of any help, but I have
a HP Deskjet D1320 on my PC desktop and I can print from this Vista (Build
5600) laptop just fine on the network router, check for the HP install disk,
and if that doesn't work contact Hewlett-Packard at www.hp.com/support.

HP has a fix...go there.

Hello Doug.
This is what I go through every time I do one wront thing while using my HP
Dedkjet F380 on Vista 32 bit os.
I am in graduate school, so dont need the aggravation, but here goes:
everytime I print with my HP F380, everything goes fine except when I have
to stop the printer for one reason or another, such as clicking on the stop
printing button while machine is printing., or if I run out of paper mid
print. Either way, stopping the printer seems to boot it out of the Vista
system, which means it doesn't even appear in the printer devices that are
listed. After I do that, for some reason, I can no longer get the printer to
work. (by the way, the driver is okay and up to date) I go to HP and select
download all-in-one printer software right onto my harddrive. (click on tools
and delete temp files,) then download HP software, blah, blah,....I have
reloaded the printer from the website (not using the HP disk that came with
the printer) approximately 10 times since I hooked the printer to the
computer 8 months ago.
How I ever managed to find this ridiculous work around is beyond me. I guess
when desperation sets in you can do some interesting things, eh:
It's nice to know we aren't suffering alone, eh?
I feel blessed, so far this is the main problem I've had with the Vista os.
Good luck, and I feel your pain.

Not sure whether this will help but do you have latest driver:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...78 5&lang=en&

I've a Compaq Laptop and found their email and phone support hopeless when I
had a couple of teething problems. Weeks delay and then an answer to the
wrong question.

It appears to be a pretty expensive item by today's standards - I'd be
inclined to return the item as it does not meet specifications `if you
cannot resolve the issue quickly.

For crying out loud...can we talk about HP printers please?

I can print a test page...but no color...HP DesignJet 9650
and HP DesignJet 500 (large format printer)...I've got over
$3,000 in my printers, so don't suggest buying "Epson" as a
solution.

Vista is NOT ready to go...it ain't even close.

"Gadgets" are real neat...but I need to load AutoCAD 2004 and
my HP printer drivers and get back to work...I've lost days
to this ridiculous OS.

I am truly embarassed for Microsoft.

Ok 2 different things happen:

1. If I click on the link in your message header I go to a
page that says
Help and support The small window says "Windows Vista
Newsgroups" but the
rest of the windows / areas are blank.

Please capture what's in your Address bar then and post the
result.


2. If I click on the link at the bottom of your post I go
to "Windows Vista,
Printing, Faxing, and Scanning" group. But at the bottom it
says it only has
2 pages. The "Printing, Faxing, and Scanning" group I came
from has 306
pages.

That's the URL I asked you for first or perhaps more
importantly
I'd like to know where you linked to it from.

E.g. this one which is where you posted originally is
actually
titled General Discussions under Windows Internet
Explorer.
That's newsgroup's archive now has 307 "pages".

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...999&sloc=en-us


I also notice a slight title difference. Window Vista,
Printing, Faxing, and
scanning versus Printing, Faxing, and scanning . Curious?

Yes. That's why I am requesting details so I can understand
how it is happening. w


BTW did you know you could also use your Vista's Windows
Mail app
to read newsgroups in NNTP?

Use this server if you want to try that. I'll give you the
link that OE could use
but I'm not certain if WM can use it the same way or not:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/


E.g. if that doesn't work as a link for WM strip off the
news:// prefix
and use the rest as the server name for NNTP news.

In OE you could then just type c.w vist to see all the
Vista newsgroups
listed (for English readers.), pick ones you want to
"subscribe" to, etc.

Vista is ready. However HP isn't.

I'm able to use my HP printer (Photosmart 2575 AIO) through
network router. Scanner doesn't work though.

Not sure whether this will help but do you have latest driver:

I've a Compaq Laptop and found their email and phone support hopeless when I
had a couple of teething problems. Weeks delay and then an answer to the
wrong question.

It appears to be a pretty expensive item by today's standards - I'd be
inclined to return the item as it does not meet specifications `if you
cannot resolve the issue quickly.

Hello Doug.
This is what I go through every time I do one wront thing while using my
HP
Dedkjet F380 on Vista 32 bit os.
I am in graduate school, so dont need the aggravation, but here goes:
everytime I print with my HP F380, everything goes fine except when I
have
to stop the printer for one reason or another, such as clicking on the
stop
printing button while machine is printing., or if I run out of paper mid
print. Either way, stopping the printer seems to boot it out of the Vista
system, which means it doesn't even appear in the printer devices that
are
listed. After I do that, for some reason, I can no longer get the
printer to
work. (by the way, the driver is okay and up to date) I go to HP and
select
download all-in-one printer software right onto my harddrive. (click on
tools
and delete temp files,) then download HP software, blah, blah,....I have
reloaded the printer from the website (not using the HP disk that came
with
the printer) approximately 10 times since I hooked the printer to the
computer 8 months ago.
How I ever managed to find this ridiculous work around is beyond me. I
guess
when desperation sets in you can do some interesting things, eh:
It's nice to know we aren't suffering alone, eh?
I feel blessed, so far this is the main problem I've had with the Vista
os.
Good luck, and I feel your pain.
