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

http://go4download.com/hp-photosmart-c5 ... windows-7/I've found this but it's probably not suitable.
You have a 32 bit Vista Advent but on this site you might find one suitable for you.
