I have 2 Windows Vista Home Premium machines. One has a printer connected directly to it and I share it out. On the second computer I connect to the printer and I am able to print. The account I am using to "connect" to the first machine does NOT have a password on it. The problem is when I reboot my second computer I can not connect to the printer.

Hi, I receive my faxes in digital form, they come as tif files. Previously in XP my tif files print out fine. However with Vista, the print wizard automatically rotates ALL my faxes to landscape view, meaning the printouts will be halved and stretched along the width of my A4 paper. The faxes appears fine when I view them on the Photo gallery but not the printouts. No matter how I rotate...

I want to use my computer, running 64-bit Ultimate, to send and receive faxes. I've looked at many (too many) post in this forum trying to decipher a preferred modem to purchase for this task. The best I can gather from the posts are to make certain the modem in on the Vista Hardware Compatibility List (always a good idea). If I look at Network Modems in HCL, the best I see are...

I have been in a long process with HP to resolve a HP Photosmart C6250 printer in Vista Business. After a month of email support from HP I was told they had exhausted their resources and to call for telephone support. After several hours over two or three days, the tech (island of Cebu, Philipine Islands) identified a failure.In the software installation process, regsvr32 calls for a...

I'm pretty sure I need to Uninstall it to get new drivers. I just need to know how to find it , so I can uninstall it. Thanks in advance for any help. -- MN

I have 3 users who share 3 different HP printers. We are running into an issue where the driver requires a reinstallation from our print server out of the blue. When this happens all 3 printers go offline(Waiting for driver update) and none of them can print to any of the printers. Once one of them goes through the process of installing the driver it gives an error msg about not being able...

Since installing Vista I can not get the Fax Status Monitor to display automatically when sending a fax. It is quite bothersum not to know the fax was delivered successfully.

Does anybody know what needs to be done for SMB scanning on Vista? I've already punched a hole in the firewall (3960) and the antivirus software has also been configured. I have created a folder and shared it to everyone with full permissions, but still there is a glass wall. The device is a Ricoh MP3500sp. Didn't have these problems with XP pro being that was enough for SMB scanning.

I have an HP pavillion dv6000, and i have all the printer, and scanner drivers, and my scanner is installed no problem but i don't know where to scan, in windows xp, i find my scanner in my computer? I have an HP PSC 2210

I have two computers each running Vista Ultimate, but windows fax & scan works differently on each. On one computer, fax & scan opens up the wab (windows address book) and lets me choose a fax number in there, or create a new contact. On the other computer, the address book will not come up at all. I checked to be sure my wab is there in the proper folder (it is in the same floder as it is...

I'm having the same problem but with an HP Laserjet 1022. I have reinstalled the LJ 1022 several times, but when you print from Adobe it kicks the spooler out. What you can do is unplug the printer from the computer, reboot and the spooler will come back. Then you reinstall the printer drivers/ software, plug it in when asked for and as long as the user doesn't print an Adobe PDF, the printer...

Recently purchased and HP machine with Windoews Vista Business pre installed. It has one color IP attached laser pronter which works fine. Also Office 2007 installed with microsoft XPS Document writer as a printer. When installing the Brother MFC I choose...

This is an minor problem but a major annoyance for me. I am trying to delete one of the installed printers that shows up in control panel- printers. If i right click -run as administrator- delete, I am asked if I really want to delete and after I click yes, nothing happens. If I open the printer, after the printer name, it says, "access denied, unable to connect." If I just hover...

Vista driver for my HP Color LaserJet 5 does not print test page. Vista recognizes device and loads driver but Test Page will not print. I have tried the HP Universal Printer Driver. It prints but characters are too large. I am using a Manhattan Parallel Port Cord (model 165297), which has the Vista updated driver. What do I do now? Hopefully, not a new printer because Vista will come...

I have an HP Photosmart 1218 USB printer which Vista RTM doesn't see. Does Vista include a driver for this printer? I can find nothing on www.hp.com of any relevance. When I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable I get a 'bing-bong' from the speakers but nothing else. No dialog box or any sign that Vista can see a new device. All was working fine on XP. Any ideas would be much...

I have been using Windows Vista for a year now. For the first 6 months, Windows Mail worked just fine but now when I try to print messages, it locks up and none of the buttons work. The only way I can get it to respond again is by using the Task Manager to shut it down and then restart it. And even then it sometimes will not work.

The print spooler generates a set of 3 log entries (example below) about every 0.25 seconds. These go to SpoolerETW.ETL in the Windows\System32\Spool directory. This behaviour exists on one of three "identically" configured systems, and is triggered by a user login (but not by the Admin login). The printers set up on this system are a minimal subset of those available (in order to try and...
