Well, the good news is that I do see mention of Vista in the HP 841C support web site. The bad news is that the printer has been discontinued, and it's not supported by HP. I'd start by getting file sharing working between the two computers.

Just take it one step at a time. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Printer Sharing between XP and Vista
I have the same problem. Desktop connected by wire with attached HP 990.
Laptop with Vista premium is wireless. I can do file sharing but can't get to the printer. I can see it, it shows up on the laptop as the default printer. I keep getting a message to install drivers. I have installed the original disk, tried hooking up directly to the printer and let Vista do it thing as well, So far Nada. All the other sharing stuff is turned on. My prior laptop ran 2000 and it worked fine. Help????????
