hp officejet

My HP Officejet 7130 will not work under Vista. The driver listed for 7100 series printers does not work and on reinstalling it onto another computer it cannot print to it as a network printer either. HP say there is no Vista driver available for these printers as yet. They suggested I try drivers for 890c or 990c printers but these dont work either. Anyone had this problem?

I have a 6110 officejet and Vista has a 6100 series driver but it won't print. The driver installs, but then when I send a test page, an error message saying that it cannot print pops up. I tried the web drivers, the cd drivers, and the vista drivers, but none work

I have an HP OfficeJet also and it works fine. If you have another computer you can use it as the computer that's connected to the printer and print from your vista computer over the network

I am having the same problem as ChainedMagnetic and transferring the printer to another computer didnt help - still the same error coming up, yet all other computers can print to it (XP & Linux).

I have an officejet 700 that won't work in Vista either...ended up installing XP on another partition so I could use it.

I have the same problem with my HP Officejet 7130. Hopefully the Vista team is working on this. I also have an old HP Laserjet 4P and that works fine but my kids are losing access to the color printer. If I can't find a solution right away I may have to install the 7130 on my kid's XP machine until Microsoft solves the problem with the HP 7130.

I have the same problem with my HP office jet 6110 all-in-one. Loads the drivers and says the printer is there but will not print. Hope the Vista team gets on this soon.

It wouldn't be the Vista team, it would be HP. Let them know.

HP 6210 all in one works just fine here. Vista x64.

Same with HP K550, doesn't print and can't reinstall driver on Vista.

No, it IS the Vista team. They list a driver in Vista for the HP 7100 series and that driver doesnt work. HP just say they dont have a driver. Windows say they do but it doesnt work.

I tried installing an HPdestjet 6840 through network. It will load the software acknowledge the network printer.When you go to print, the paper will move about 1/8 of an inch and then stop. -- BOBLU

Ok, in reading other threads I worked my way to this solution for my 6110 officejet.
Add a new printer and select the HP Deskjet 990C driver instead. Once it's done, go to the properties of it and change the port it's using over to the USB virtual port. I am now able to print to the device using Vista. Give that a try.

I have purchased the HP EN3700 USB 2.0 PRINT SERVER to isolate the printer from my machine so that if it ever goes down the HP 7130 printer will still be available to everyone else in the house. I will report back here on my progress with getting Vista to print to it over the network.

I have Deskjet 6840 working on Vista told Vista it was a deskjet 5900. Working just fine !! -- BOBLU

I finally received the HP EN3700 USB 2.0 PRINT SERVER that I ordered. Setting it up on my network was nice and smooth, all 4 computers ( 3-XP, 1-Vista) see it without a problem. I had some problems though installing the HP 7130 drivers on the XP machines, I had to make sure all my security programs were turned off before I could get a successful installation on the XP machines. I really think the HP drivers are poorly coded, it is no wonder we are all having problems getting the HP drivers to run under Vista. Any way my XP machines can now print, fax, and scan over the network using the new print server however I am still having problems trying to get the Vista machine to even install the HP drivers much less being able to print to the HP 7130. It is a good thing Vista was able to install drivers for my HP 4P laser printer, I can at least use that printer in Vista.
I would assume that by the time Vista is released later this year or early next year HP will have drivers for its printers that actually work. As for now HP is ignoring the testing crowd and that is a mistake, my next printer for home or office will probably be a Canon, I stopped recommending HP a long time ago anyway, they are not building their printers the way they used to, scr*w HP.

I tried using a generic driver in Vista for my HP 7130, that didn't work. The driver installed fine but when I did a test print the output data printed was all incoherent text, not the usual garbage with a bad driver, just text that didn't make sense, and the print test went on and on until I manually cancelled it.
If you use your printed data for decision making at home or office like I do, I'd be very careful using a printer driver not specificly coded for your printer model. I'd be very suspicious of the printed data based on my recent experience.
