| | Re: Need driver for HP 2840 HP has this and would be the source for drivers. I do see a print/scan driver for the 32 version of Vista. I looks like HP does not have support available for the 64 bit OS. You need to confirm this with HP. Your x64 machine will support a 32 bit OS installation. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...&swEnvOID=2100 HP Color LaserJet 2800 All-in-One Printer series » Choose another product » Create a personal product profile (Why register?)

| | Re: Need driver for HP 2840 Well, I confirmed with HP that there is no scanner driver for 64 bit Vista. I disagree, however, with the technician's statement that it is because "nobody likes Vista" because "it's as bad as ME." I have been running 64 bit Vista on 2 machines since it came out, and I am really DISAPPOINTED with HP.

| | Re: Need driver for HP 2840 What a bunch of nonsense. HP obviously wants us to purchase the newer model of their laserjet, which I did. I was completely unsatisfied with it, so went back to the task of compatibility between my Windows Vista 64-bit system and my tried and true 2840. Windows has a "Virtual PC" that you can download free. It requires Windows Vista Ultimate, so upgrading was step 1. Step 2: Download the free Virtual PC 2007 and install it on your 64-bit system: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...c/default.mspx Now that you have your virtual PC (like a mini computer inside your computer) you need to install an operating system. I bought Windows Vista Business version (32 bit) because I found it inexpensively, but you can install whatever 32-bit system that is compatible with the 2840 software. So now you've created a 32-bit virtual system within your 64-bit system. Now just install the 2840 software into the 32-bit virtual system and you're good to go. All this cost under $300. -- MattPterp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MattPterp's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/85478.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-print-fax/1112664.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
