I have a HP Photosmart 7350 printer connected to my Desktop which has
Windows XP installed. I have two laptops that have Vista as the OS. When I print a document with graphics using the Desktop, text and graphics are printed. The laptops are wireless connected and will only print text using this printer, in addition, I cannot change the Print Preference from the laptops. The HP is, however, set to share on the network. I got frustrated with this problem and purchased another printer. It is also connected to the Desktop. It will print both text and graphics on a document sent by the wireless laptops. Any suggestions as to why the HP will not print graphics on a document? Thanks, C J |

Bob J, thanks for your reply. I went to HP's site for the compatible
driver. The compatible driver is one used by DeskJet 5550 and in order to install this driver the printer has to be connected using a cable. Also, HP states that all printing functions will not be available after installing this compatible driver. So, it seems that right now, I will not be able to network this printer.
