For years, I've had an HP DeskJet 812C connected to the parallel port on my Win98SE computer. The printer is shared, and I've had no problems printing from Windows XP. Enter Windows Vista. I set up Vista to use client-side rendering by adding a local printer and having it point to the port for the printer. Everything works fine when I set it up, until I reboot the Vista computer. When that...

I've been struggling with this for some time now. The computer is a Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Premium. It prints to the USB connected Brother printer with no problem from Word, Excel, Firefox, etc. However, it is unable to print HTML documents from either IE7 or Outlook (plain text emails in Outlook do print fine) There is no response when I select "Print" in IE7. No error, no document...

Hello, Every time I try to send a fax, the following error message appears: "The message could not be sent. The media is write protected". Can someone help me out on this issue? Thanks in advance, Sander

Title says it all: Does anyone have any information on what support there will or will not be for the HP 5470C scanner (and 5490C ... same scanner with ADF)? Also, the HP Photosmart 7350 inkjet printer?

I am having a weird problem tring to install the drivers for my Dell 3010cn printer. After installing the Dell CD, autorun displays the welcome screen with serveral install options (local, network,). No matter which I select, the welcome screen just disappears for a second or two, then re-displays again - having done nothing at all. Has anyone else has problems installing Dell drivers? --

I installed Vista Home Premium a few days ago and now I can't get my (USB) Epson Stylus PHOTO 820 to print. The driver installs but when I start to print I get the 0x00000057 error code. Called Epson for help but they said it is Windows problem. Purchased RegCure and ran it but printer still does not print. I read several articles that pointed to the spooler or the registry as a problem but...

I'll be helping a neighbor set up a new Dell with Vista Home Premium. She bought a Canon all-in-one MP610 printer with lots of application software on the CD - MP Navigator, Easy-PhotoPrint, ScanSoft OmniPage SE, Easy-WebPrint, and ArcSoft PhotoStudio. I know i need to install the OCR software, but wonder about the rest. Do I need the MP Navigator for this printer to work? Will the Navigator...

I recently upgraded my laptop to Vista Home Premium. Now I can not print to my Dell 922 AIO. I have downloaded the latest Vista drivers from Dell. The driver install appears to work fine; however, when I try to print the queue stacks up and I get a message about not being able to communicate with the printer, please check the cable, restart, and other trouble shooting suggestions. No...

I am using Vista x86 RC1 build 5600. Have used Win XP since it came out. I make frequent use of the fax facility in both OS's. I have many historical SEND and RECEIVE files from XP and getting a few in Vista. Due to my monkeying with the Vista installation (hardware and software installs and uninstalls), I have uninstalled and reinstalled Vista x86 RC1 several times. I am noticing that I...

"2pods" wrote in message ... Has any one had any luck installing the above wifi printer ? TIA P Have given up (at least until rc1). It seems to install, then says the network driver needs to be reinstalled. I try that, there is an amount of disk access then nothing.

The print spooler generates a set of 3 log entries (example below) about every 0.25 seconds. These go to SpoolerETW.ETL in the Windows\System32\Spool directory. This behaviour exists on one of three "identically" configured systems, and is triggered by a user login (but not by the Admin login). The printers set up on this system are a minimal subset of those available (in order to try and...

The Windows "Fax and Scan" program appears to operate only when the current user Documents folder is in a particular location. How can that be reconfigured? TIA.

I have been using a HP LaserJet CM1015 MFP on my '07 Dell inspiron 1520 with Windows Vista Home Premium addition since August '07 with absolutely no problems. A few weeks ago, strange things started to happen. First, I received a message about the computer not being able to find the printer. The printer was no longer listed as my default printer for no apparent reason. I fixed this. The next...

I have bought a Lexmark X1270 All In One Printer, but despite endless emails and phone calls to Lexmark they are still stating that it is compatible with Vista, i bought this product as it stated that it was. I have used the Vista clean to uninstall any old files of Lexmark then used the Download link for this Printer from their website and yet still there is a problem with the install, it...

Hi, I have been 'happily' using Vista(32) fax to send word docs and pdf's. Tried today and got this message when trying to send a word document. "This fax cannot be sent at this time. Please launch the compose form from Windows fax and scan and click on New Fax to attach this document to send out as fax." Polite and simple, so I tried it. And got "The message could not be sent. The data is...

After a week of horror (seperate story...) I was able to upgrade my computer to Vista RTM. There is a bug in the HP Office Jet D series printers. When printing in landscape, the printer just spits out empty pages. Printing in portrait seems to work. Best regards, Yuval

I have a HP 2610 and with the new RC1 build from Beta 2 I have a great working printer now. The only thing I do not have is a working scanner. I have it on my network I am just trying to figure out if there is any way to get my scanner working for vista RC1. Thanks
