installation of HP 1610 PSC

[Guest]

I am the sole user and hence, system administrator for my HP a1630n, running
VISTA Home Premium. When I attempt to install my HP printer, I get the
following:
X system does not meet min. req'ts to install this software.

Requirements Software cannot be installed using "run
as..." cmd.

x Run as
Since I am the system administrator and have installed many pieces of
software, I do not understand, unless it is purely HP's problem. Can anyone
help???

Are you using the printer software and drivers (if any) that HP has
specifically designed for use on Windows Vista? Drivers for any older
operating systems will not work.

Thanks, Bruce...I believe that my CD is for Windows XP and therefore is
inappropriate. I hoped it would work, but alas...!!
I like the sayings at the end of your response -- very much to the point.
Again, thanks -- I will attempt to get the proper CD from HP.
