Vista keeps loosing my network printer?
Hello,
Thanks for reviewing my question. I am having to reinstall printer software about every two weeks. I have a network printer. My printer is an HP Photosmart C6180c. I have another printer on the network and it works for a while then it stop working - Vista considers it offline. Do you might know what is causing the problem? Thanks in Advance Peter |

Sorry but I understand neither what your network printer setup is nor which
printer is somehow being dropped. So, I do not have a grasp of the problem and thus would be on treacherous ground if I suggested a solution. Perhaps you could provide more details about the setup of both printers. Include the make and model of both, and the source of the drivers you are using. Exact error messages are useful.
