Windows 7 Printer Sharing

‎07-14-2009 03:43 PM

I have a HP PSC 2410 connected to a computer running windows 7.  Win 7 detected and installed the printer just fine and there are no issues printing.  I have a laptop running XP and I'll be darned if i can get the Win 7 computer to spool print jobs for the laptop.  Works fine when I boot into Vista.  I have the print sharing set up and I can see the XP machine from the Win7 machine just fine.  Everything I have read says I need to install the XP drivers on the Win 7 machine.  Does this mean I need to download the large, all-in-one file for XP and install on the Win 7 machine?  Just concerned this may cause an issue.  I've looked just for just the driver file to no avail.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I too am stumped, seems no one has an answer.  Looks like we will need to upgrade the laptop to Win 7 in order to be able to print.  Although I was able to print using the RC version, now using the RTM version thats now not the case.

 

I did try installing XP drivers onto the WIn 7 PC, but wouldn't install no matter what method I tried.

 

And since HP won't be developing Win 7 drivers anytime soon, we'll just have to wait.

 

Unless anyone knows differently!
