I just purchased a Lenovo lapotop computer with Windows Vista Home Premiere and would like to connect wirelessly to my hp Photosmart 2610 printer. The CD I have, however, is only acceptable to Windows XP, 98, Me or 2000. Is there a solution to this problem so I can use the printer wirelessly?

As your printer is not wireless itself I assume you shared the printer. To enable this again goto Control Panel on your desktop, select printers, right click your printer and there should be an option for sharing. Enable sharing.
Now using your Vista laptops you should connect to your home network (in your case this is probably a wireless router, as long as your desktop is connected to this router too), goto Control Panel, printers, add printer, search for printer not connected to this copmputer (or network printer).
Hopefully the Vista laptops will then pick it up and install it correctly. You may be asked to install the correct driver for the vista machines. Windows should provide you with instructions on how to do this.

Hi, If your issue is somewhat like this: When receiving a fax the line disconnects. No faxes or calls can be made until the fax being received is cancelled. Then, Try the following procedure:
Ensure that you have a two contact phone cable connected to line 1
socket of the printer and that the other end of the cable is connected
to the phone jack in the wall.
Perform
a partial reset on the printer. To do this first remove the power
supply from the back of the printer. With the power off press and hold
the # and 3 keys.
Plug the power back into the printer, keep holding the # and 3 keys till you see “
Partial Reset
” displayed on the printer screen.
