We have had this laptop for four months using a Vista O.S. The printer is a HP PSC 1350 all in one. Currently running IE7 and am aware of the conflict between HP Director and IE7.

Recently I changed my hard disk, WITHOUT changing the fax store folder; it is "d:\users\documents\fax" as it was before. Since then, when I try to send a fax, I get this error: "The media is write protected". Anyone knows what is wrong?

In downsizing my business I moved my office to my home. My old HP2840MFC needed a drum, and I was tired of it not being able to scan under Vista. I bought a CM2320nf, and networked it to my 2 Vista 64 computers. I previously had a 5590 scanner and a D7160 photo printer that would not allow HP software to work correctly with Vista 64. Over the past year I have spent hours working with HP...

Hi, New here, new to PC, new to Vista. Similar to another question that didn't give details, I'm trying to print to my old HP LaserJet 5MP printer from a new HP laptop running Vista Home Prem 64.

When I reboot, it will seem to print to the printer but it just gets stored in the printer...

One of the main problems I am having with the lexmark fax software is when I start the application it...

Hi everybody. Recently, I changed my hard disk, but WITHOUT changing the fax store folder; it is still "d:\users\documents\fax" as it was before. Since then, when I try to send a fax, I get this error: "The media is write protected". Anyone knows what is wrong?
