RE: Can't select a new specific USB printer driver when a compatible d

Walter,

Does the device work properly after Vista installs it? You can double check
the status of the device in Device Manager. In Device Manager, review all
entries for it and note whether any issues are displayed. That is, under
Properties for the device, do you see the words "This device is working
properly," or do you see something else? If it's working properly, there's
no need to install drivers, unless something isn't working. Vista includes
drivers for many hardware items that required the user to install drivers in
previous versions of Windows. If you're trying to install more current
drivers than those installed by Vista, under Properties for the device,
select the Drivers tab. Then, click on Update drivers. Follow on-screen
prompts.
