Well well well... I just installed the latest updates for Vista and it
then
installed the drivers for my printer. I don't know if I installed SP1 or
not,
but whatever, it works.

Thanks,
Rob

you need to install SP1. There was an issue in the core OS setup

where a file did not get regenerated properly after the manufacture

it in their setup program as Microsoft recommended in XP. Here's the QFE

Thanks Alan. I opened up the prnhp001 folder, then the .inf file and
did a
search for 6540, since my printer is a HP Deskjet 6540. I found the
following
entries:

HPF6540T.GPD.ICM_LH_PHASE5,HPDeskjet_6500818D,HP_D eskjet_6500_Series ;
Hardware ID

[HPF6540T.GPD.ICM_LH_PHASE5]
CopyFiles=HELP_LH,HPC_COMMON_LH,HP_PRNPROC,HP_ICC, ,@HPF6540 ,@H ,@HPFIME50. ,HP_LANGMON
DataFile=HPF6540T.GPD
LanguageMonitor="PCL hpz3llhn,hpz3llhn.dll"
PrintProcessor="hpzpplhn,hpzpplhn.dll"
CoreDriverSections="{D20EA372-DD35-4950-9ED8-A6335AFE79F0},UNIDRV.OEM,UNIDRV_DATA"

Do you know how to get Vista to install these drivers?
Thanks,
Rob

My OEM version of Vista doesn't have the driver for my HP printer.
HP
says
the driver should be in Vista, and won't give me the driver.
Microsoft
says
they don't support OEM Vista, so I can't get the driver from them.
How
ridiculous is that?

Can anyone recommend a solution for me?

Thanks,
Rob
