I have a new Dell with Windows Vista Business installed. I set it up to connect to the network printers and everything was fully operational. I was printing fine on 2/15/08. I came into work this morning 2/19/08 and when I try to print I get a message saying unable to print. I get the same message with 2 different canon printers and 1 hp laserjet printer. I tried removing the printer and...

I have a base computer in my network that is attached to a Brother MFC-7420 printer, but now I'm trying to add a laptop to network so that I can share the printer. When I try to add the printer, I have to do it manually by browsing and finding the printer icon in my base computer. When I connect to it, it tells me I must download a driver but when I tell it to download the driver I get an...

I have an HP laptop with vista business 64bit on it, and for the life of me I cannot seem to get it to work with any hardware printserver out there. I have tried a netgear one I use on an older printer of mine, and a brand new Linksys WPSM54G. The linksys says that it cant work with this operating system when I try to configure it, but linksys' website says otherwise. Any help?

I just got a new HP Pavillion Elite m9040n computer, am hooked up to HP 2610 All in one printer, and cannot scan since I am now using Vista Home Premium. Have all the upgrades to the HP all in one, driver, etc. If I can't scan, will there be a service package 2 coming out since it seems Vista and my scanner are not compatible? Thanks...

I am running Vista Ultimate with a Canon LIDE30 USB scanner. On the Canon site there's a compatible driver for download and also a de installer prog. No matter what but when i install the correct driver the scanner can't be installed with it. When i try Veu scan it is done in a jiffy. HELP!!

I have a laser printer I like to use with windows, but I can't get my printer driver to work w/Vista x64. Konica site has no drivers for vista, 32 or 64 bit, and not sure if they ever will. Any help will be very appreciated.

I am running into a problem where I have an XP machine that has a Dell Photo 720 printer attached to it via USB. I have been able to print to this shared printer on the XP machine from a new tablet running Vista for quite awhile, and then it suddenly stopped printing (while I can still print from the XP machine). I have downloaded the Vista driver from Dell, and installed it but it still...

For crying out loud...can we talk about HP printers please? I can print a test page...but no color...HP DesignJet 9650 and HP DesignJet 500 (large format printer)...I've got over $3,000 in my printers, so don't suggest buying "Epson" as a solution. Vista is NOT ready to go...it ain't even close. "Gadgets" are real neat...but I need to load AutoCAD 2004 and my HP printer drivers and get back...

My HP OfficeJet 7210 All-in-One does not print graphics consistently...and usually not at all. I have three Vista machines connected via a simple home network. I have all the most recent HP drivers installed . The same problem exists for all three Vista machines. The printing behavior is that when the page is being printed, the printer will pause at that point where the graphic is to be...

Though my printer is C4280 all in one, I keep getting pop up messages that tell me to align my C4200 (dfferent model #). I have done this many times and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software. This goes on all during the day. Please tell my how to stop it. CJ

I've tried to delete a print job that was not working, but after deleting, it has been stuck in the queue for two days. I can't uninstall and re-install the printer until the job is totally deleted. Have I encountered a "Catch 22"?

Hi. With Vista, HP PSC 2510 printer works well. However, the HP sofware for the scanner cannot be installed on Vista. Is there any workaround or new HP software to install and run the scanner of the HP PSC 2510 material ? Thanks. Luc

I have an HP Pavilion a6110n PC and HP Photosmart C5180 All-In-One Printer. Works (Version 8.5) came with the computer. I also have the Hallmark Studio Card Program 2007 (for Vista). I am trying to print half-fold greeting card envelopes (8.5" w x 5.5" l and 8.75" w x 5.75" w) and have been unsuccessful. I have gone thru the motions of creating a "custom size" envelope (the Windows...

I can't print ms word documents. I have a Lexmark all-in-one printer; I thought it was the problem, so I bought another printer. Same problem: prints email, web pages but not ms word documents. HELP!

I have the Linksys Print Server, and the HP PSC 2210 all-in-one in Vista 64x. I've been trying to install this through the print server to scan, but I can't. I have the CD, and I try to "Add Device" in the scanner and cameras, but it won't work. I tried adding the default scanner that is there, then putting the TCP/IP Port, but it won't detect it. When I connect it to the USB, it works perfectly,...

Microsoft says i should ask HP. I slowly begin to be annoyed. Have bought short...

Now I'm 90% sure that this is a no go, but I'd like to rack the brains of you Vistax64.com people before I totally give up. The print server - Linksys PSUS4. The operating system - Vista 64. Now Linksys haven't officially made this compatible with Vista 64, but is there anyway around this. The drivers and firmware were last updated back in 03/04 and obviously Vista is new since then.

A customer brought their Lenovo laptop w/VHP installed because her HPOJ 7110 printer had disappeared. Thinking that she needed to do so, she clicked the Add Printer button and got "Windows can't open Add Printer. The local print spooler service is not running." The spooler can then be restarted, and clicking the Add Printer button gets "Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be...
