| | Hp printer woes after start up Don't know if this is unique to my machine. I have a desktop, XP sp3, Ethernet cable to my router. A Vista x64 SP1, wireless and an HP C2680 printer Ethernet to my router. All set up well but after the printer is shutdown and restarted both computers have trouble. I have to manually set my Vista machine to 'Use Printer Online' for the HP to become available, and on both machines, I can't open the 'HP Solution Center.' It freezes and I need a reboot, then all is fine again. ??? Thank you, Ed -- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-BIT SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 4.00 GB RAM 300 GB HDD |

| | Re: Hp printer woes after start up Hey Malke: Your everywhere huh? It's not a big deal but like you had said, their software struggles with windows. I'm using both xp and Vista and it behaves funky. I tried just using the drivers, there seemed to be no loss of performance but I felt I needed the other programs. Just two issues; A long boot up and as I wrote, problems when the printer is shut off. I have e-mailed them, I'm waiting to hear. Wanted to see if this is a common issue. -- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-BIT SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 4.00 GB RAM 300 GB HDD <malke@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:exO5NN2xIHA.4772@xxxxxx Quote: > Ed H wrote: > Quote: >> Don't know if this is unique to my machine.

| | Re: Hp printer woes after start up Malke, Do you know someone at HP or something?? My experainces w/them route to India and 99.999% of the time they are clueless. They do Not know how to analyze beyond the script. They do not call back when they say they will. They let you figure out your own resolutions, etc. Ed, I wish you well w/your troubles.
