Hi,
I was using Win XP Prof. SP3 and the above printer. Everything was OK. After I shifted to Win Vista my printing problem started. While installing the printer in Vista, it detected automatically and installed with limited feature. When I wanted to print photos in wallet size on A6 card it is not printing and displaying paper size error. When I checked in the printer properties, it is showing only 3 paper size. Earlier in XP, it was displaying all paper size including A6 card size and envelopes. I am unable to print on A6 card on this detected automatically drivers. I checked the printer installation CD it is ont for Vista. I checked for HP website there also they are telling it will detect automatically and no driver files are available for download for Vista version. I am not able to make full use of this printer's features in Vista. Please help me. Regards, -- Athar Sagri |

I am not able to make full use of this printer's features in Vista. This is one of the most common problems experienced by people who try to use a newer version of Windows with older printers and scanners. They can't get a driver for their hardware. The manufacturers of the older printers and scanners don't feel that it's worth their time and effort to develop new drivers for older hardware they are no longer selling. It is *always* a good idea to investigate driver availability before going to a new version of Windows. I'm afraid you're out of luck, and will almost certainly need to replace your printer if you want to make full use of its features. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
