| Vista Ultimate x64 | HP 2840 and Vista Ultimate x64 HP drivers online have at minimum allowed us to install and use the printing function. However, the installation CD with all of the HP software for scanning, faxing, etc. doesn't run. Click setup.exe and the spash windoe says "click install to begin..." but the only button available is EXIT. I'll be on the phone with HP customer service on Monday morning. Anyone else out ther having installation issues with Vista x64 and HP 2840 software? One thing i could try is installing Vista x32 but i don't know if it would be worth my troubles... input??

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: HP 2840 and Vista Ultimate x64 Hi DL, Actually they have a universal printer driver: go to the following URL: New HP Universal Print Driver solves Vista Printing Problems for LaserJets I can print douments - i just can't install the HP software...the CD simply won't run setup.exe as one would expect... I'm wiating for tomorrow to get here so i can contact HP about it. i'd hate to lose my 8MB RAM because i have to install the 32 bit version...on top of that, how do i know if it will run in the 32-bit version, right? |

| | Re: HP 2840 and Vista Ultimate x64 I know there is a universal driver, but if the software is not designed for Visa then it may not run "ceekaye" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:592590d0659f46082a206e25469ae9cd@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: HP 2840 and Vista Ultimate x64 well, HP says it supports only 32-bit XP or 32-bit Vista...so there it is. |
