Help with Vista and HP PhotoSmart P1000 Printer
I have recently installed Vista, and have a HP Photosmart P1000 pritner that
I have used on XP to print high quality digital prints from my digital camera. Does anyone know of a way around the compatiblity issue with this printer and Vista, I have tried to go to HP web site to find a new driver unsucessfully. I do not want to disgard this printer and buy a new one just because of this problem, but would rather find a patch or a new driver somehow that will allow Vista to recognize this printer and use it. Thank you very much. Rick |

You could try a search in this newsgroup to see what others have done.
Sometimes installing the HP XP Software under compatibility mode set for XP with SP2 will work. |

Thank you very much. You should be able to install and use the Deskjet 970 driver built into Vista for the Photosmart P1000. This will not support reading the photo cards back to the computer but should work fine for printing. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |
