Re: Installing HP Photosmart 1215 on vista...
Previously posted instructions for loading and using Photosmart 7200 series printer drivers for the 1215 worked for me as well. I did notice a couple of things however. Make sure that you turn the printer off and then back on especially if it was connected to another computer. My printer was on and connected to another computer (XP Pro) and the first time I attempted this all I did was move the USB cable from the old to the new computer (with Vista) and loaded the drivers. The drivers loaded ok, but, the printer just sat there when attempting to print a test page. I then deleted the 7200 printer and turned both the printer and computer back off and on. The second attempt worked. I also noticed that after the printer completed a print job that the "Printing from PC" message on the printer's LCD screen would flash alot longer than normal. It does go away.
