I receive the message "default printer can't be set". I am trying to add an HP Laserjet 4000 connected to an HP Jet Direct 300x using IP address to select printer in Vista (Business). I can print a test page after printer is created but can't set it as default. Denny

Hi all I have a Epson DX4000 attached to my main pc running XP Pro, when ever I print to that printer from my Vista home premium laptop it takes unto 3 minutes to complete, once I click print the just goes to the egg timer for up to 3 minutes , its fine from my other XP machine so its definitely a vista issue, any ideas?

We have a W2K3 Printer server on which some HP 4000n are installed. These work alright from our XP machines but from my Vista client I get the following message when I try to add them to the system: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000006). What might be wrong?

I can no longer print from Vista Windows Mail. When I double click on an email message to bring it up in its own window and attemtp to print, the window freezes. I also cannot print from the review page. If I copy and past the contents to Word, I can print from Word. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike

I can't share out any of my printers on one of my Vista computers. I go into Network and Sharing Center, open Printer sharing, turn on printer sharing and then press Apply, but Printer sharing stays off. This only happens on one of my three computers and it happens to be the one usually connected to the network wirelessly. Any help?

I paid some IDIOTS to upgrade my XP to Vista Business. My most pressing problem right now is that I don't have a printer that works. My newest printer is a Lexmark X2480 and there is a driver download on the Lexmark site.
