| | Printer connection issues with Vista 64 to XP home network server New laptop with Vista - 64 bit connected to my home network. Vista sees my Desktop, sees the other laptop (both running XP). "sees" the printers, but when I try to connect, I continue to get an error.... The server for the 'HP Laserjet 2200 Series PCL 5e' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver. I click "OK" The computer prompts me to find the .INF file. I browse to the XP DESKTOP computer and find the hpcu083b.inf file. I click on it and click "open". I then get the error "Printer driver setup error. Operation could not be completed (error 0x800f0214). I have had this computer since Feb 12th and have been attempting to connect my network printer to it. Unsuccessfully. I have an Epson RX620 (less than two years old), that gives me the same error when I try to connect to it. I have installed Bonjour. I modified my firewall so it would communicate as it needs to...(UPD file modification). Still no luck. I have removed and re-added the printer driver a few times. I have tried installing it localy, but not sure how to "redirect" it to the network. Printers will print when connected with the USB. At my wits end. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

You will probably have to download / unzip and then point the "Have Disk " dialog to there |
