Connection manager is stopping me using photosmart printer [ Edited ]

[Dunce]

Hi,

I have a Pavillion notebook and a HP Photosmart 7762 printer, The printer is installed and set as default printer. When i try to print (even a test page) I get a popup message saying that the "HP Connection manager service is not installed".

My notebook is a Pavillion on WIndows 7, SP1

My version of  connection manager is 4.

I have tried to use Recovery Manager (under Start--> All Programs --> HP folder) to re-install the connection manager and it always fails.

How can I use my printer?

Many thanks,

Mark

Uninstall all to HP printer software and use the Windows 7 7762 print driver.

Ahh, so the connection manager is not required - many thanks for your help, very much appreciated.
