Default Network printer.

I have been printing to various network (to an IP) and directly connected HP
printers. Recently I was printing backwards to an HP OfficeJet L7580 but it
would print correctly if I connected thru the USB. Anyway, I found there is a
feature for Mirror printing which was mysteriously set to On.

So My advice is hunt around the printer properties or advanced features and
switch off the Mirror printing option.

since this is a Vista problem. Regardless, I need my new Vista computer to
print. Any help?

I have the exact same problem. I just spent ~2 wasted hours of my life that
I will never get back trying to "chat" with HP's helpdesk on this. The man I
was speaking to clearly didn;t know what he was talking about, nor was he
actually reading my posts. He abruptly ended our chat with no warning after
2 hours, without accomplishing anything at all. I called HP, and for a
price, they can help me. If I have to pay for help, I'll spend it on a
non-HP product instead. This is beyond rediculous, it's borderline illegal.
They are advertising that it (deskjet 3845) is Vista compatible, but only if
you read backwards I guess!!!!!

Help!!!!!

Bob,

Thanks for responding.

My printers are HP Deskjet 3845 and HP psc2175xi. Once printed, if one
were
to hold the paper up to a light with the printed side toward the light,
away
from you, one could then read what was printed.


I just installed a driver for the DeskJet 3840 series and in the "Finishing"
tab of the printer properties is a checkbox for "Mirror Image". Make sure
this is not set; if it is not try checking it and see if this corrects the
problem. The PSC 2175 may have a similar driver option.

Regards,
Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging

Yes, and HP won't allow any downloads for free to update them for Vista
either!!!!

It's not a Microsoft problem, it's a problem with HP since they write the
drivers. Microsoft are not responsible for HP's errors. Even if the
drivers are included in Vista, HP wrote them.
