Before Vista, I had a happily configured set of two printers printing correctly on a wireless Belkin print server via separate PC ports. Now, I have a sadly configured set of two printers hanging off the same PC port...and no way to add, delete, or configure ports. I just get a Vista error message that it can't be done.

After purchasing a new computer with Vista, I learned that my two year old HP all in one would no longer scan because HP had not bothered to write the appropriate driver. AS a result I purchased a new 6310 which scans fine. However, when I tried to read photo cards - no luck. After wasting an hour or so, I found the HP FAQ which said that the driver for the printer won't do photo download....

It appears that my printer is properly installed on my Fujitsu A6110 running Vista Home Premium, but whenever I try to print over my network I get a print error. The printer works fine when directly connected to my Fujitsu A6110 laptop, but not over my home network. I have two other computers connected to the network, both run XP. Any ideas? -- Bill

Explorer and other programs such as Excell and Outlook seem to work fine. I...
