Hello.
I have an old college friend who has a fairly new Gateway computer from
April/May 2007. It came with Windows Vista. She has a printing problem
with her old HP Deskjet 870Cse printer (parallel connection).
She bought a Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter (part number F5U002v1).
She says the box doesn't say Vista support. Is this a problem? I don't
think it is since it is just a cable adapter.
When she tries to print, Vista saves as a XPS file and not send to the
printer. I read that XPS is like PDF. It sounds like Vista doesn't have
her printer connected (asked her to check -- I hope she knows how to
find it).
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpd04246.pdf for the PDF manual.
Based on
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...8543&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=61012&lang=en
.... Vista knows about this printer so no downloaded driver needed.
I am helping her through e-mails since she isn't close by for me to visit.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
