Default Printer

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

Download & install Vista compatible drivers for your printers, you may even
have to put the Vista drivers on the XP

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.
