Hello, I just bought a new laptop that has Windows Vista. My printer is a Hp Deskjet 5440 and it is not working. I dont think it is compatible with windows vista... is there a way to MAKE it compatible?... Thanks

Win 7 has been very thoroughly reworked so those 'missing' files were probably never there. Go to the HP website and click your way to the product support page for your model. I'm fairly sure you will find and updated install program or at least new drivers compatible with Win 7.

Use an uninstaller like http://www.revouninstaller.com/
to completely remove it.You should uninstall the new drivers for the new printer also,then do a clean install for the 2660.That probably will correct the compatibility issues.Take care!

I think that the printer driver that you installed in your computer is not a driver for Vista. I checked the supported operating systems and it's compatible with Win 2000 upto Win XP.

BUT, I saw this on a site:

Supported software
Windows Vista HP Deskjet 656c Printer driver utility.

Meaning that there's is a possibility that HP has a Vista driver for your printer. You need to contact HP and ask them where can you get the Vista driver for your printer. I had a feeling that it's the only way that would make the printer work.

Have a great day!

You have to go www.hp.com select your region and product then you have to choose OS and now you can printer's driver for free for life.
Your problem will solve.

If tisk link is useful for u please rate me .....

Click HERE to download your Vista driver.

Click on your printer model, then click on drivers and downloads.

They will not work. Although they may look similiar and may even fit into the cartridge holder. The internal circuitry is different and will not be read correctly by the printer. If they are all brand new or unopened, there is always ebay.

We could fight with your old one and try to get vista to see it, but your not a computer person HP dont support it and i think that road may just lead to more frustration for you so maybe best if we just get you to replace it, any new printer of any brand on market should be vista compatable.

Double check specifics on HP officejet 4315 all in one and it is compatable, as I would say is any new printer on the market.

1:46PM 12/31 in my world, well 31/12 actually, and my computer says your 12/30 post was done on the 31/12, so no idea if it is before 10am:-)
