I change the default printer, but each time the system is booted, it has reverted back to XPS Document Writer.... Question is.... has this been resolved in RC2 and RTM??? Question is... is there a work around for this issue for RC1??? It would be nice to have default printer working until...

I have an Epson Stylus c84 Inkjet that, according to the Epson support page, should already have drivers in Vista (I should just be able to plug in the printer, Vista will see it and load the appropriate driver, etc). However, Vista cannot find the correct driver and asks for the original driver CD, to which I try anyway and it still does not work. I contacted Epson who suggested I try and...

Finally! I'm so happy. I have two printers in my house. One is rather new, it is downstairs I had no problem connecting to it via my network. My home network is wireless, although, I have two computers wired to the router and two computers connected by wireless. I have my old HP OfficeJet K-80, upstairs. I've had it since 2001 but it still works great, one of those "all-in-one" deals. I...

I am running Vista Business, and am trying to setup faxing with Vista's built-in Windows Fax and Scan. I do not have a modem, and so I'm trying to connect to the fax on a Windows Server 2003 R2 server. This is a "standard" Server 2003, that is, it is *not* SBS (Small Business Server). The server is a domain controller, but the Vista PC is not on the domain. However, both computers are on the...

I have used the fax function in Windows XP for years. I routinely backup the sent and received files. I would like to import these backed up files into Vista Fax but cannot figure out where they should be copied. It appears it should be c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\WindowsNT\MSFax\Inbox or SentItems. I have copied my old file to these folders, but they are not visible in Vista Fax. What am I...

I have a new printer that prints 13x19 inch photos. I would like to buy some plain non-photo paper to practice with before I use the actual photo paper. I can't find any plain paper in that size at my computer or office stores. Anyone know where I can get it? Thanks. Tom

I don't seem to be able to find the fax printer, on XP it installed automatically when it found the fax modem. Where is it? -- Nigel M

Logical printers on Server 2003 showed off line immediately after hardening the network. XP PCs work just fine. Disabling the SNMP on the port configuration of the driver is not an option because the driver is setup to print to a queue and certain application need the SNMP to monitor the print jobs. What is the security setting that won't allow the SNMP communication between the driver on the...

Does anyone know if the following devices will be under Vista: 1. HP Photosmart 7350 inkjet printer 2. HP 5470C / 5490C scanner The 5490C is simply the 5470C with an automatic document feeder replacing the scanner lid. Note, I need full scanner support (e.g. currently HP Precision Scan Pro, or more or less equivalent replacement software), not just minimal TWAIN drivers. The 5470C was...

When I try to use the 2-sided printing option, the second side comes out upside-down. Is there a patch available to correct this? I haven't been able to get anything from HP.

I have an Officejet 7210 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier. I downloaded the HP software from the website and installed on the computer to manager the components. The printer and copier work fine, directly from the computer's HP Solution Center - however, I cannot scan and keep getting the error HP Cue Scanning Flow no responding. I spent 3 hours online with HP this morning and I'm...

I am unable to connect to a Linksys 3 port print server using MS Vista RC1. I have Windows XP home, Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro on other machines that have no problem. I installed the print server driver and the administration program on the machine with MS Vista. Linksys Print Server shows up as a port but I am not allowed to configure the port. If I try to add a new Print Server...

Hi, No, this is not a standard "there is no driver for my printer" issue. We have a network printer. HP have no driver for it, stating that the driver is built into Vista. On three of our machines, we have installed this built in driver using an IP port and it worked fine.

Vista recognized and installed a driver for my HP DeskJet 3930 without a prob. I got my cannon canoscan N670U to work by downloading the driver and the scanner toolbox from cannon then installing each by having them run in WIN XP compatibility mode just before I clicked on the open button in the browse window. the scanner works well with Photoshop 7 which is what I use to scan stuff for...

Hello, I bought a new konica-minolta printer: Magicolor 4650 DN. It comes with lots of printer drivers. I use Windows 7 64 bit. I think the printer installed itself when I plugged it into the network router (linksys). Windows 7 found the printer and I added the printer and it seem to work, including settings / properties for duplex / grayscale / color / page layout / number of pages per sheet...

I keep getting the error "Printing Scout Stopped Working and was Closed" and I can't figure out why. I am printing to an Xerox Phaser 6100 with a static IP address via my local area network. All of our computer running Vista Ultimate are having this problem. The actual document will print with no problems, but I have to close that dialogue box every time. Does anyone have any ideas on...

I have Vista Home Premium and a HP 2610 all-in-one printer. Just recently, I noticed it will not print photos from any program (Windows Explorer, Photo Gallery, Paint Shop Pro, etc), yet it will print documents from Word or Firefox. For example, if I'm in Explorer and double click a picture file and click print, I select the printer and click "print" yet the printer doesn't do anything. I do...

Hello. I am trying to get a Vista Laptop to print to a XP desktop. It appears instead of setting it up as a network printer, I install as local printer and use UNC naming(\\computername\printername) to connect to the printer. The problem I have it that Vista isn't consistent in it's add a printer wizard or there is something wrong with this laptop. On my Vista Ultimate when I go to add a...
