Computer related question
This ones for you Bud.
I have a really good wireless printer that I cannot find the full driver update for win7. I was wondering if I can wire it into my router (yes it has a cat5 outlet) so all the other pc's in the house will see it, or will they have to have the driver installed in order to use it. I'm the only one still using XP.

Yup, there lies the problem. B/c it was a wally world special buy, HP doesn't have a actual driver update for it.

So what won't work with the printer? YOUR XP computer or NONE of them? Or just the ones with Win 7? I guess I can't grasp what your problem is....other than the driver avail for win 7.

I guess what I'm asking is; Will the other computers with win7 recognize it through the wireless router without installing the driver on all the other pc's.
edit: It works fine with XP.

My laptop is a Win 7 64 bit Operation System and it works fine with my wireless printer by HP. Did you try installing the software that came with the printer into your Win 7 computer (s)?

Yes I did Bud. It was a no go. I had bought another wireless printer that works fine on all the pc's, but the other one is so much better, plus I have a dozen new cartridges, each in black and color that I would love to use up.
