I just bought a new computer and I want to be able to print wirelessly to a printer that is attached to my old computer. The problem is that the old computer has XP and my new one has Vista. I need the Windows Vista driver for the old computer. The model is HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Can someone please tell me how to download and install the Vista driver. If you don’t have to tell me how to install it, please just tell me where to find it.

usb printer connecting to a parallel port print server?

connecting usb


I have a newer printer that’s only got a usb connector. My slightly older wireless router has a print server and a parallel port. Ideally I’d like to have the printer available to any computer connecting to the network without having to use print sharing via a one computer that is always on.

I don’t think this is possible though since I can’t find a connector that goes from a male usb to a parallel port. They seem to go the other way around.

I was working fiine on Win-98. When I upgraded to Win XP, in black print of text, I get a shadow line by the side of each alphabet. The original supplied driver of deskjet (HP) 640C is not compatible with Win XP so I use the driver that comes with Win XP .
