I’m *not* a dummy when it comes to computers, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out.
My computer is in one room of our house. We have an HP Color LaserJet 2840 PCL6 connected to another computer, in another room, in our house. My “old” Windows XP computer connected wirelessly through the network to the printer w/o any problems at all. The printer is connected to the other computer, not to the wireless router.
My new Vista computer *finds* the printer on the other computer, but tells me “no driver” is installed. I’ve tried the driver disk I have (even tried changing the compatibility settings on my computer for it). Nope.
I’ve gone online, and tried downloading a PCL6 universal driver for Vista 64-bit (that’s what I have, 64-bit), and it will not install that driver (tried two different ways).
I feel as though I’m beating my head on a brick wall, trying for hours and hours, different drivers, nothing works.
I need **step by step** instructions as to how to do this. Anyone? Someone? Bueller? Please?
TIA.
