It sounds more like a printer set up problem.
Again, eliminating -- when you installed did you install the HP
software and driver before the USB cable from the printer was plugged
into the PC? If not do a complete uninstall and clean up with the
printer USB cable unplugged from the PC, reboot and reinstall the
software -- do not plug the USB cable into the PC until the
installation procedure tells you to or you reach Finish.
Try installing using Run as Administrator -- right mouse click on the
downloaded exe file and select Run as Administrator and OK your way
out.
Can you do a test print from the Printer Properties screens?
Download and try the HP Printing Diagnostic Utility that is on the HP
VISTA Download page for the 2610 (which one is it you have)
