Hi,

I cannot install my HP Laserjet 3150, error says will cause conflict with
vista. Please help.

Also Lexmark X1185 does install but does not work no communication

Thanks

Scott;

The latest drivers for your HP printer are dated 2001. I may be wrong, but
it's likely that HP will not be writing drivers for Vista. While it may
work very well, it just is old, in terms of printer longevity. I'm curious
what HP said in their response to your inquiry.

Your Lexmark may just need a nudge. Try running the driver using XP
compatibility mode. This has had mixed results ranging from total success
to utter system failure, so you may want to test the scenario in a safe
environment.

In the meantime, like the rest of us with something that doesn't work with
the beta (I have no sound and no modem, presently), you may have to just
wait for the vendors to catch up to Vista, and use your XP production
computer instead of your test unit.
