Thanks to Kevin Cummings for your help, but I finally was able to get it all working after stepping away for a bit. But by doing as you instructed, and adding a generic (key word there when looking for printer driver), and then raw queue driver, I was finally able to get the Win Vista laptop to find it and use the printer. The laptop connected fine and printed a nice test page. Installing HP's own printer driver on the laptop now and gonna print a regular test page (txt file or something) just to make sure. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best lil town on Earth!"
