The "connection" is a cable, (or wireless when available,) and NOT software.

That said, a PC needs 'drivers' to run hardware devices. You would find these drivers on the manufacturers website. Yours is HERE.
You will need to choose the correct Operating System for your Laptop.

SOURCE: Photosmart 3310 is on network but not recognized wirelessly

Sounds like another Vista Bug, i would check the HP site for this issue and if its under warranty, contact HP. If you have alot of Blue tooth devices hooked up, it may be that its trying to use another device in its place or the signals are getting crossed, im not positive.

Its like when you have to many network drives all hooked up and you plug in a USB device, Windows pops up those anoying bubles saying its detected, but in My computer it doesnt show.

So bassically you have to right click my computer, manage, disk management listed uder storage, right click on the device or drive and change the drive letter to something like " W" or " Z" or anything not in use.

It may be a siomilar case with your bluetooth, youo may have to much stuff connected. Try redoing everything like you have so many other times before, and then limiting how many bluetooth devices you have connected at the same time. see if theres a difference.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Hp 6122 Printer Printer driver removal

I believe if you go to HP.com and do their auto-select printer routine it should delete the old driver for you.

My Toshiba Lap Top does not show Model X2500 printer to be installed. This printer was used in an Acer Lap Top before and it was duly installed . I still have the disk.What can I do..? This Toshiba is...

Great news that you still have the disk. You can use this disk to install the drivers for the printer on as many computers as you want to use this printer. For now, tho, you can install on your Toshiba laptop by placing the disk in the laptop's CD drive and follow the prompts on the installation menu. There is no need to uninstall from the Acer. The driver is not like Microsoft software where you only have one key for each installation. You might also be able to get the drivers from the Lexmark website.

Hi... I need to connect my printer to my new Toshiba lap top

What printer do you have? You should check the manufacturer's web site for updated software (new OS). If the printer is an all-in-one, you should install full featured software before connecting the printer to the computer. If the printer is a USB printer, then just plug it in when directed to do so. If full-featured software isn't available, either a driver will be on that site or a generic driver may be part of the OS.

If you have an older printer that uses a parallel port, you will may need a parallel to USB adapter. If the printer is an all-in-one, then you need a bi-directional version of the adapter. (With newer Windows versions, the installation will require you to start the Printer Wizard. Click Start > Devices and Printers > Add a printer. Select Add a local printer if it will be directly connected. )

I hope this helps.

The message "no communication between printer and computer". some times indicates that the cable you're using is faulty or the port selected is not the printer port you've connected your printer to.cheers.
