Installing HP Photosmart 1215 on vista...

#31 (**permalink**) 09-20-2007

Thank you very much.

I was extraordinarily annoyed that HP and MS were not going to offer drivers for the 1215 to operate on Vista. But there is always a way around their collective ignorance and mis-treatment of their customers. My 1215 works great with the 7200 drivers and I get to keep using a perfectly functioning printer.

Stick it to the man!!!

Thanks much!!

Thanks to the one that found the work around,
But what am I missing?

I have followed step by step. I have even turned of and back on.
The good news is that at least there is a print in the que.
The test page comes up as an error, but from word they just sit there.
What else do I need to tickle?
I have tried all printers ports, just for giggles.

LMK,
Thanks

ANZPOWER722........What are you trying to say? I guess you don't like Vista

If you go to the HP site you will get this useful information
We are sorry to inform you that there will be no Windows Vista support available for your HP product. Therefore your product will not work with Windows Vista.
The majority of HP products not supported in Windows Vista are beyond seven years old.
If you are using the Windows Vista operating system on your computer, please consider upgrading to a newer HP product that is supported on Windows Vista. HP has numerous products on the market that support Windows Vista.
As stated in other mails the 7200 driver works well but I don't seem to be able to print from the web--Driver problem or operating system???
