Installing HP Photosmart Printer

CD won't install printer software. Says upgrade os to xp or vista. Windows 7 recognized the wireless printer and downloaded driver asked to print test page. No response.

I had no problems with my HP 2175 all-in-one. I didn't have to install the software. 7 had it up and runnig after the install. Are you running the 32 or 64 bit version?

What HP Photosmart Printer are you using?

Its a wireless version. Just came out. I wouldn't recomend installing the software myself. Just trying to get the print features to run. Windows 7 did a nice job of locating the printer (no cords) and said it downloaded the driver.

I then try to print get a little data icon in my whats printing now for about 1 second and then it disapears. Nothing gets printed. Nothing in queue.

Cd said I needed to upgrade to vista or xp. I say ha ha. Seems like a downgrade.

I use a Photosmart 3210 all in one. All I had to do was turn on the printer and Windows 7 ask me if I wanted to install the drivers for it, It work just fine and put the proper driver on boath computers. It was so easy

Hp printers seem to be working ok without the software. Just the driver downloads. Yet, does anybody have a wireless printer ( a network connection between printer and computer, not usb to computer) able to work). Mine doesn't

Tonight I tried to install the 6310 All in one printers software. The issue that I ran into is when the installer went out to find the printer it could not find the printer. The printer is hooked up via ethernet. I can ping the ip address but the installer can not find the printer. If I go to Add a printer then win7 can find the printer on the network. Unfortunately I do not have access to the HP printer tools.

The printer does work under Win7.

I have an HP Photosmart 2710 all-in-one wireless machine. Windows 7 found the printer, installed the drivers and asked if I wanted to print a test page. I haven't done that yet, but feel confident it will work.

Do it man. Go into the control panel, hardware and sound, devices and printers and check to see if your printer is listed and has a big green check mark. If it does it will work.

Thanks MaddMaxx. Yes, my printer is listed. It is so much easier to install the printer in Vista and Windows 7 than XP (download a large file, or use a CD). Ubuntu and several other Linux distributions install the same way as Vista and 7 - recognizing it and then downloading drivers.
