| | Re: setting up new hardware problems Is this printer software Vista compatible? The HP 3015 I have is "Vista Compatible" but HP failed to mention that their software toolbox is not...and they have no plans to update it (my 3015 is 18 months old). Two things to try. Right-click on the "Setup" program on the CD and choose "Run as Administrator". Or run the Compatibility Wizard and choose to install it as "XP" (I don't remember the exact verbiage).

| XP | Re: setting up new hardware problems Tim what did you do on the 3015? The websites shows 3 drivers but I dont know whether to just let Vista discover it (3015) or figure out which to install? Thanks.  Quote: Originally Posted by Tim  Is this printer software Vista compatible?
