Printing Properties

My printer is shared on the wireless network through another computer. When
I click on Properties, the system seems to work for a few seconds and then a
window opens and closes before I can do anything. I am the sole user of this
computer and I have admin access.

Re: Printing Properties

Re: Printing Properties

I think so. I just let it install the driver automatically when I added it
over the network.

Re: Printing Properties

If you are using the HP Universal Print driver be sure to pick up the latest
version.

Re: Printing Properties

I went to the site and it just said to plug the printer in. Nothing about
updating drivers.

Re: Printing Properties

Probably not. It runs Window XP. I don't have access to that printer until
Thanksgiving so I can't test it out right now.

Re: Printing Properties

I am having exactly the same issue with a virtually identical setup. My main
PC is currently running XP Pro SP2 (will run the update to Vista Business x32
when I get round to it - lol, only got the upgrade CD about 6 months ago
now!) with the HP printer plugged into it and shared. I am trying to prit to
the HP printer wirelesly via my laptop running VIsta Home Premium but it will
not print and when I try and open printing preferences the screen just
flashes up and dissapears.

The wireless router is a Buffalo WHR-G54S if that helps.

I am currently bidding on a HP Jetdirect 175x so hopefully that may help.

Any help greatly appreciated

Rob
