Make sure once you install the wireless printer on your computer that you go to your control panel. Once there make sure the wireless printer is set as the default printer. You can find this in the control panel under printers. Also make sure your printer that you are installing works with vista if not you will have to reinstall every time because vista won't save the data if it is not vista compatible.
I'll try to do some checking and get back to you if I can find a solution that works for you. Sorry I couldn't help more at this time.
I did some checking and so far what I have found is that certain printers when used in vista, you have to go to the manufacturer. Like hp.com or whatever and enter the brand and model then would be to download the updated driver for that printer. If you could try that if you haven't yet and I'll keep looking.
I'm still checking, but this is a puzzler.
Yes it could be, try checking your firewall settings and I'll continue looking for an answer. Not having a lot of luck, but will keep trying.

Thank you for the help.
The printer works fin with 2 other laptops both running vista both wireless and both are fine when printing.
I do sat as default ever time but each time i want to print again the printer section in control panelhas no trace of the printer hence i have to find and set as default each time
!!!!!!!
I have checked with the hp site and am ok with the drivers but still no luck next!!
I have been advised by a member of staff at Staples that it may be a firewall stoppiong the printer being set as default!!!! well its an idea i guess
