hp photo smart
I don't think this is a unique problem (it can't be). I have a home wireless network with a wired XP Home machine and 1 wireless XP pro laptop. The Wired XP is the host for a shared HP Photosmart 7350 printer. The wireless laptop accesses the printer without any problems. Then I got an Asus G50v laptop running Vista 64 home and added it wireless to the network. In the network Vista sees the printer on the host. However when I initially tried to add the printer it said it needed drivers. After reading the Tutorials on this forum and HP and various other sources, I finally got Vista to add a printer using the alternative driver. It shows up in the Printers folder, says it's ready, but it still won't print. I'm at a loss here. Do I need to do something to the host? The printer is a HP Photosmart 7350 and the driver from HP is for a HP 5550 Any help would be appreciated. Thank you -- Tempest57 |
