I need to set-up a f2210 printer . I have a new Dell p c and want to connect my printer to it; I don't have a disk

how to install without a disk

disk to install deskjet f2210

You can try to go to the Dell website to see if they have an updated driver for you printer

Drivers and full software are available from HP for supported OS versions: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3571753& . Select your OS and then click Next. From that source you can also order a replacement CD if you need it.

Download the software and install it before connecting the USB cable to the computer. If you connected the data cable first, remove the generic OS driver and then disconnect the USB cable before installing.

I hope this helps.

When it's booting, try to access the setup, aka BIOS. See if you can set CD/DVD as a booting option. As the top BOOT device. Then see if you can boot your installation CD. You may be able to format your drive during the installation - if the hard drive hasn't failed?

If you're going through the install process, please don't connect the USB cable until told to do so by the installation software.

Look on the back of your computer for USB port. It look like this...

Go to control panel/programs and features and uninstall the HP driver and all associated software.

Reboot, then reinstall the LATEST version written SPECIFICALLY for VISTA SP2. Install the driver BEFORE you connect the printer. After you install the driver if your computer still doesn't recognize the printer, leave it connected and reboot.

You should see the 'found new hardware' wizard open and automatically install the printer.

Hope this works. Good luck.

I recommend uninstalling all HP components from your add/remove section in the Control Panel - restart computer - and then reinstall from the original disk sent from the manufacturer. Do you still have the disk?

The best way is to insert the Dell factory Disk into the server and follow the prompts it gives you to set it up on a server as a remote printer.

sure...you may need to add the printer, again, after removing it. Also, did the new dell Vista disk for drivers and utilities come with? I'd advise going to Canon's page, and getting a more recent driver. The old disk from Dell or Canon, MAY NOT have the most recent driver set. Also, if you're using the print manager, that's a new download, for certain.
