HP Photosmart D5160

I have a D5160 printer that prints on CD and DVD. You can get the regular
printing on paper to work by using the deskjet 990c driver. Has anyone been
able to get it to work the CD/DVD printing? When I had RC1 installed there
was a driver from microsoft called 5100 Series. When I installed RC2 that
driver was no longer there. Any ideas other than to wait for HP?

I was able to get this printer working. You need to install the driver
manually instead of using the hp software. Once it is installed just go to
the printer settings and tell it that the second tray is cd/dvd and it works
great.

So after nearly a day of searching, I found this method

Use the following links to required software

HP Customer Care local language selection*
lc=en&cc=us&product=1155996&os=2093&softwareitem=oj-51361-2&dlc=en&


Select OS

Select basic driver
next page
click on file name (using download button I only got corrupt files)

HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe

Roxio Express Labeler *HP Photosmart D5160 Printer
click on file name (using download button I only got corrupt files)

Re: HP Photosmart D5160

The link you gave for the D5160 only leads to drivers for Vista. I cannot
find the ones for Windows XP. Anyone know where they are? HP is no help,
they only can help you with the hardware not the software, crummy ++stards.
