What is the installation product key of windows Vista?

I have 2 network printers installed (an HP5N and an HP4000). There are 2 other "printer" drivers installed (Microsoft XPS Document Writer and Microsoft Office Document Image Writer). After rebooting my machine it seems my default printer keeps getting reset from the HP5N to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer/ Has anyone else encountered this and/or found a solution to stop it from...

I'm trying to connect to a network printer (Samsung CLP510). Either going through the add printer dialog or using browse network and connect gives this error: Not enough memory to connect printer. Using Vista build 5728 and same error occurs when logged on as administrator.

Please help for the drivers of mentioned printer.

I have problem installing drivers for the mentioned printer. That was working ok with Windows Xp. I could not find drivers for Vista RC1. I need Help.

I have an HP 1200 laser. Works like a champ when hooked up to Vista RC1 x64. Works like a champ when hooked up to XP SP2. But I want to have it hooked up to XP (32-bit) and share it so that I can use it on Vista (64-bit) and one of my other XP systems at home. How do I do this? I can see where to add x64 drivers in XP, but I can't tell how to actually do that! It asks for the driver...

"Peter M" wrote in message ... Much more elegant than my attempt.. kudos. That is Rather Weird. I have the HP DeskJet 940C connected via USB, and it has never-failingly worked in Vista (in fact, it has routinely auto-detected the printer without my having to do anything). The only thing I have had to do is set it as my

The printer works correctly, installing drivers was a 2 step process, add the usb port, then add print driver. After every print I get a "Local Downlevel Document" status "Spooling" that stays there until I reboot - will not delete. Any suggestions on how to FIX this ? thanks in advance...David

I wanted to see if my HP 450 series printer would work with Pre RC1 build. I saw that it had drivers so I let it install. If I open a PDF file and print it works fine and if I print from paint it works but if I print from Windows Photo Gallery it prints 5 or 6 dots and thats all. I will Install my EPSON printer which worked in public build and see if I have the same problem but thought I throw...

When I try to add a network printer connected to a Windows XP Home machine, I get access denied. Anyone able to overcome this? I'm using 5600 over a Wireless network and a Linksys WRT54G router.

I contacted ewido over making the online scanner compatible with IE 7 and here is their reply although I can understand thier point I hope they fix this about everyone one us here used this before IE 7: Dear Neil, thank you for your request.

I'm forwarding this thread to the correct newgroup (microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan) via crosspost. The clunky web interface you're using to access the Vista newsgroups STILL misdirects posts made to Vista.print_fax_scan to Internet Explorer General instead. They'll fix it someday, we hope. Try accessing the newsgroup in your default newsreader (e.g., Windows Mail), where (I...

Any suggestions on how to get my Lexmark X4270 Printer/fax/scanner/copier working with Windows Vista? I am currently running Build 5728. There are no current Vista drivers available from Lexmark. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance, since this is the only problem I have had with Vista as of yet. Jeff

I have successfully printed to my LaserJet for quite some time since Vista BETA 2. For some reason, I keep noticing that the Printer Status icon on the tray does not go away after printing is completed. When I open it, there are multiple files with the exact same name as the first one in the list that keep the printer status running until I reboot the computer. Is there a way to force these...

I am trying to get my Epson GT-7000 and Nikon LD-5000 to run under Vista RC1, but the OS complains about missing drivers. Suggestions anyone? Thansk, John

Has anybody been able to get an Epson Perfection 4180 Photo Scanner to work in RC1?

I am pretty surprised that no alternative has shown up so far regarding temp drivers for HP scanners... Not even a generic... Does anyone know anything about that? Edric
