i have check on all the internet resorces for installing the driver

While your HP printer is connected to your computer
and turned on:

Visit the Windows Update web site and click on
"Check for updates". After the scan is complete,
click on "View available updates". Hopefully,
a driver for your HP printer will be offered.

Hi,
thanks for quick reply. i checked it when i try to install drivers
by using ad new hardware wizard there i select let me choose device, but
in the list of device there i dont see the printer device to install
drivers for printers.
for eg there is a list of available devices like display,network
adapters, etc. but there is no printer there, and also i dont see the
link printers as it is in XP which shows the installed printers and from
where we can also install printers.
and i also dont have the printui.dll which is required to install
printers. and no spooler file which starts the printer service.
plz tell me how do i get this service running. i checked windows update
site but i dont get any update regarding this problem. i also downloaded
so many hotfixes and latest drivers for HP 6l gold printer.

Changes to a printer's device configuration are not applied until the computer restarts or the Print Spooler service restarts in
Windows Vista:

I have the same problem and can't seem to be able to get the printer working
using Vista no matter what I do.
