| | *Installing device driver software* prompt - no longer appears I am trying to install a USB HP 2840 on Windows Vista. There is a compatibility issue with this printer and Vista, but there is a workaround. 1) the driver at the hp website does not work 2) the workaround from HP does work (please see attached). I know it works because I have successfully installed it on a fresh build Vista. However, I cannot get it to work on my clients Vista machine - it does not prompt to install the driver which you can see at ftp://vi-amber.no-ip.org/prompt.gif I f I can get back to this point I'm sure I'm home and dry! It did appear at one point point but I didn't make use of it. Thanks for your help. |

| | RE: *Installing device driver software* prompt - no longer appears I saw your post but it did not include the attachement for the HP workaround, I am experiencing the same problem on a vista machine that I am installing. Can you please post or email the HP workaround? Thanks, Bob "theitfella@xxxxxx" wrote: Quote: > I am trying to install a USB HP 2840 on Windows Vista.
