Printer driver

Post by Northern Lass »

I need to get my vista advent computer linked to my HP printer
it won't accept the disc I had with the printer not compatible
but you can I think download print drivers.
Anyone know how to do it and what to avoid? :?

As your disc is old the hp site should have the updated vista driver

I've found this but it's probably not suitable. :roll:
You have a 32 bit Vista Advent but on this site you might find one suitable for you.
