The printer driver is not compatable with a policy enabled with a policy enable on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 Driver.

| Guest | Re: Trouble installing printer driver Sure. Like THAT'S going to work. So far, most printer manufacturers have little desire to update their printer drivers for their 'older' products. They really want to force us to go out and purchase a new printer, so they can suck more cash out of us. Ignorant fools can't see that if they provided good Vista drivers for their older printers we would spend even more on ink and paper supplies than we would on a new printer. Heck with it. I'll just scrape Vista off my new machine and return to XP. At least ALL of my peripherals worked with that OS!
