I have a HP photosmart 1218 and have just brought a new rig which has a dual boot config with Vista64 and Xp Pro64.
I have managed to get the printer to install in XP but trying the same method in Vista doesn't work.. can anyone help?
I installed it in XP Pro64 by downloading the XP64 bit driver for a deskjet 970cse and then simply installing it
HP themselves suggested just setting the printer up manually in Vista as a deskjet 970cse.. this gave me the idea for the above trick. But when i tried this the test page came out garbled
where as in XP the test page printed fine.
I know the printer is getting old but it works perfectly well and i'm loathed to bin it . So is there anyone out there who can point me in the direction of any other drivers i could use other than the official xp 32 bit software driver on the HP website which doesn't work.
Thanx in advance.
Steve.
