Did you try adding the printer manually? There are vista drivers for the
Photosmart 8400 series. Woody "Billy" wrote in message ... any news of updated drivers for my older printer? Billy |

I too have an 8450. There are native drivers inside of Vista for the
8450. You will be able to print, but wont have the control panel as before. Its a bare bones driver. IM guessing that's all we'll be getting from HP as if you look on there site, they recommend getting a Vista compatible printer. "Billy" wrote in message ... Thanks That's it working!!!

.................and they say Microsoft are ripping us off!!!! (I don't
agree - you get what you pay for and if UK is double the US dollar then it all seems prety fair to me) HP should be ashamed, the 8450 is not that old.

For anyone with an older HP photosmart printer, try manually adding the
printer using one of the other photosmart printer drivers that are included with windows vista. I have my photosmart 1115 working using the 2570 drivers. At least I can wait awhile before getting a new printer and hopefully in a year or so they will have good drivers for all the new printers.

HP have a document listing suggested alternative printer drivers to
use. HP Printers - Installing an Alternate Driver in Windows Vista http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document? docname=c00808478&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=72881 &dlc=en&lang=en Glad you found an alternative. |
