No driver support and i am also not able to add printer, i dont get the place to add printer like in other version i had check all the settings in control panel but i dont get the printer link or wizard to add printer manually. :mad: Please help me to use my printer.  Signaturealokyadav12 Open your Control Panel and click on the "Add Hardware" icon. The "Add Hardware Wizard" will appear. 1. Click on Next and place a dot next to "Yes, I have already connected the hardware". 2. Click Next and scroll all the way down to "Add a new hardware device". 3. Click once to highlight it and click Next. 4. Place a dot next to "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)". 5. Click Next and scroll down to "Printers", click once to highlight and click Next. 6. Place a dot next to "Use the following port" and click Next. 7. In the "Install Printer Software Screen", on the left side scroll down to "HP" and click once to highlight, then in the right-side scroll down to "HP LaserJet 6L", click on it to highlight, then click Next to install the software.

Signaturealokyadav12 While your HP printer is connected to your computer and turned on: Visit the Windows Update web site and click on "Check for updates". After the scan is complete, click on "View available updates". Hopefully, a driver for your HP printer will be offered.

Signaturealokyadav12 Hi, thanks for quick reply. i checked it when i try to install drivers by using ad new hardware wizard there i select let me choose device, but in the list of device there i dont see the printer device to install drivers for printers. for eg there is a list of available devices like display,network adapters, etc. but there is no printer there, and also i dont see the link printers as it is in XP which shows the installed printers and from where we can also install printers. and i also dont have the printui.dll which is required to install printers. and no spooler file which starts the printer service. plz tell me how do i get this service running. i checked windows update site but i dont get any update regarding this problem. i also downloaded so many hotfixes and latest drivers for HP 6l gold printer. Signaturealokyadav12 Changes to a printer's device configuration are not applied until the computer restarts or the Print Spooler service restarts in Windows Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933454/en-us SignatureCarey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, thanks for quick reply. i checked it when i try to install drivers by using ad new hardware wizard there i select let me choose device, but in the list of device there i dont see the printer device to install drivers for printers. for eg there is a list of available devices like display,network adapters, etc. but there is no printer there, and also i dont see the link printers as it is in XP which shows the installed printers and from where we can also install printers. and i also dont have the printui.dll which is required to install printers. and no spooler file which starts the printer service. plz tell me how do i get this service running. i checked windows update site but i dont get any update regarding this problem. i also downloaded so many hotfixes and latest drivers for HP 6l gold printer.
