| | printer preference window doesn't show. I've installed my printer (HP PSC 2110) and i've been trying to set the printing preferences but the widow won't even show up. When as soon as i click the printer preferences button, i could see the window disappear in matter of seconds. I'm so lost with vista.. How do i make the preferences window not disappear so i can set my preferences.. ?? |

| | Re: printer preference window doesn't show. Not being able to see the preferences dialog is ususally caused by not having a Vista compatible driver. I took a look at the HP website, but it appears that there isn't a driver for your model on Vista. Someone else in this newsgroup might have a suggestion that'll make the device work with less reduced functionality, but if HP doesn't write a driver for it, there's not much we can do. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...79488&lang=en& Dan "mojomojo" <mojomojo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B078E5D1-CD34-42AD-AF6C-34EFED674509@microsoft.com... > I've installed my printer (HP PSC 2110) and i've been trying to set the > printing preferences but the widow won't even show up.

| | Re: printer preference window doesn't show. You might try what has worked for a number of people here and that is to install the XP software using Run as Adminsitrator and also Compatibility mode if necessary. If you do try this first remove all HP software that has been installed for the device; delete the printer icon in the Control Panel / Printer; and unplug the printer cable from the PC. Then reboot and start the software installation using Run as Administrator on the setup.exe file for the HP software. You do this by right mouse clicking on that setup.exe file and selecting Run as Administrator. Do not connect the printer or its cable to the PC until either the software tells you to or you get to [Finish] |
