Hi,

I have an HP Photosmart 8100 series printer and it seems that every
other day I can't print from my laptop... running Vista Home Premium....
wireless. It just says "error" in the print menu. No problems printing
from my Macbook or Dell running XP.

Any ideas?

Is the printer being shared from the Dell XP? Delete it from the laptop and
use the following procedure on the laptop;

"Go to Control Panel. Choose printer. Then choose Add Printer.

ChooseAdd a local printer. Click on Create a new port. The default in the
drop down box is Local Port. Do not change that. Click Next.

A dialogue box will appear asking for you to enter a port name. Type in the
\\computer name\printer name ie. My computer's name is basement and the
printer name is EpsonSty so I typed in \\basement\epsonsty "

*-Hi Jackie-*
**
*-I feel like I am the wireless printer guru because I just sucessfully
installed my Lexmark Wireless, 3 things I learned hopefully this will
help.-*
*-1 Install CD Printer Software correctly-*
*-2 Make sure SSID number is same for computer and printer-*
*-3 Make sure you have correct WEP number-*

*-Good Luck:geek:-*
