HP refusing to provide printer drivers for Photosmart 1115
Thanks for the tip. My 1115 just printed its first test page since installing
vista 3 weeks ago. Phew! "repo" wrote: Jo;2727667 Wrote: The 1115 works great with the HP Photosmart 7200 driver included with Vista. Install by saying you want to pick your own driver. Select HP and then select the 7200. (There may be other HP drivers that it will work with also, but this one works perfectly with my Vista setup.) So...it is even more outrageous that HP won't "provide" a driver, as it already has drivers that work with the 1115. They just want you to dump a perfectly good printer! My next printer will not be a HP.

Works Great!!

Using the 7200 series driver did the trick. Thanks a ton everyone!! It really is upsetting that HP can't supply a driver though, or at least the answer given here in this forum. I don't think my next printer will be HP.

HP refusing to provide printer drivers for Photosmart 1115
Thanks so much! My Photosmart 1115 is connected via usb to Vista 64 Home Premium. I noticed that the Photosmart 7200 driver did not offer the duplex (2-sided) printing option so I defined a second printer on port dot4 and specified the HP Deskjet 970cse driver which seems to work fine with just black & white text from Wordpad. From the test page, the 970cse driver uses far fewer files which may mean that it would not be a good choice for printing images; I am not sure. zanw;557024 Wrote: I found a solution! uninstall printer. go to system and uninstall generic printer driver. then go to printers in control panel. Open and add printer. when asked what printer to install pick hp photosmart 7200, when asked what port pick dot4 good luck -- VLeigh |

I was never so frustrated in my life. After reading everyone's blogs, I finally solved the issue by selecting the dot4 port. It took 10 tries but my hp 1115 is now operating. Thank you! Thank you!
