No Printing under Windows Vista =(

Posted: 10-16-2007, 04:53 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm using the HP OfficeJet K60 All-is-one under Windows Vista, and it seems
that the installation, drivers, etc were successful. The printer is fully
supported in both Windows XP and Vista. During my previous Windows XP
installation, the printer worked great with no problems. However, now in my
new Windows Vista installation, it doesn't print at all. Every print job
comes back with a "Error" status condition. Is there any way I could attempt
to diagnose this further? Any help would be appreciated.

Are the Vista drivers you installed the latest ones from the HP Website?

Yes. The HP Website doesn't offer any drivers because it claims that the
drivers are already there with Windows Vista.

I have gone through very similar problem with HP printers in our home network.
For some reason, Vista wants the HP printer drivers loaded to the same PC, that
is not directly connected to the printer itself. Although, you may not have plugged
in the printer on an LPT1: port or USB port on the same Vista operating PC, just
load the standard printer software & driver on the Vista operating PC.

Go to HP Customer Care web-page -
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&cc=us
Select the latest "Software & Driver Downloads", and download the latest
Vista drivers for your printer, and update couple of times.

Hope this will solve the driver problem.

I don't know what else you would expect since If your PC does not have the
correct Vista drivers it certainly can not send a printer ready file over
the network to another PC.
