 | my hp printer will not recognize Window's Vista... by Richwood (5/2/07 1:13 PM) reply | + / - | I am assuming that I need a patch. HP tech told me that I need to pay $34 to have someone walk me through solving my problem since my warentee is up on my "old" printer. I am assuming that means that there is a HP/Vista patch out there for my printer (hp psc 2400 photosmart series all-in-one). Can anyone send me in the right direction? Thanks!!!

 | Re: Re: my hp printer will not recognize Window's Vista... by Richwood (5/2/07 2:15 PM) reply | + / - | Thanks Moe. That was an easy fix. My printer and copier is now working fine, but the scanner portion is not. The printer message window says:
"Scan options are not set. Install or run device software on computer. Press OK to continue." I searched the control panel/scanners and cameras and found my printer listed there.
So, I guess I have a brand new problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Dear Ronnie,

Ronnie, before proceeding with the troubleshooting steps for this issue, I want to make sure that you have tried downloading the software from proper link. So to check that, please visit the link I have given below
=== Step 1: Disable all the firewalls and anti-virus software if you have installed ===
1. Click Start, click Run, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
2. On the General tab, Click on 'Off (not recommended), and then click OK.
Please disable all the firewalls before proceeding
=== step 2: Web referral for downloading full version software ===
Caution: the download might fail or will take a long time, if you have dial-up connection

Now please follow the steps I have given below to install the software from the extracted file
