Vista Tutorial - HP Officejet 6110 - Has anyone got an officejet to print with Vista yet?

I have a dual boot XP/Vista system. Vista installed without any hickups at
all - I was very impressed with that. However, I'm having a problem
printing.

I have an HP Officejet 6110 connected via USB. Vista recognized it and seems
to have loaded all the default HP drivers. If I unplug the printer, vista
sees that action and marks the printer offline. If I plug it back in, Vista
changes the printer status to online.

I can also look at all the normal printer properties and change items like
sharing, paper size, color, and a whole host of defaults.

However, when I try to print (from any application) or try to print a test
page, I get the following error:-
Test page failed to print. Operation could not be completed. I've tried
uninstalling and reinstalling a few times (trying to fake it out) and... no
printing.

Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone managed to get an officejet
connected via USB to work?

Thanks, Steve

This is what worked for me (with a Laserjet 3015 All-in-One USB printer):

Remove the printer from Printers folder.
Load your XP printer driver CD under Vista and run setup in Compability Mode for XP sp2.
This worked for me.

This doesn't work for HP OfficeJet 7310 (
The software makes control of S.O. version and doesn't wont install
itself...........

I did as skypilott2 suggested. I unplugged the usb cable from the computer, loaded the HP 6110 cd and uninstalled the hp 6110 from the computer. When I restarted the computer, it said my drivers were installed and ready. I opened a file and it printed perfectly!!! I had all but given up on getting my printer to print until I found this forum. THANK YOU !!!
