Hi Alan,
I do not have this file on my Windows XP machine. To clarify, the HP5510
All In One printer is installed on the Windows XP machine with the Vista
Laptop trying to connect to it.
When looking at the Driver section of the Printer, the only driver which is
Check Marked is the [Enviorment] Intel [Version] Windows 2000 or XP. I
thought perhaps that I should download a Vista driver and maintain it on the
XP machine, but HP doesn't make this available as it is already shipped with
Vista.
I know the Vista Driver is available on the laptop, but I never get far
enough in the process to use the driver.
Where to from here?
Thanks,
