,,I have a new laptop with Windows Vista Business. I connect wirelessly to my
desktop which has Windows XP Media addition. the desktop is connected to two
printers via usb. I can print to an HP photo printer through the network but
not the HP laserjet 1012. HP doesn't list this printer as being Vista
supported Yet..(if ever) however if I connect the lap top directly to the
printer via usb, Vista finds a driver and will print while it is connected
directly. I have tried other HP drivers which HP lists as Vista ready and
they will print when connected directly but not over the network. I get
spooler error messages ie spooler not running etc. Or sometimes just failed
to print messages. I have also used Vista's add printer in control panel. it
finds the hp1012 but fails to install it.
the laserjet is listed as shared on the desktop etc.
I have another laptop which connects over this network and will print to
this printer. this laptop is using XP.
Ideas??
thanks
