Unplug the printer and then plug it back in. Does Vista do the 'found new hardware' thing? If not then the OS does not see the printer. Some older printers and other things just will not work with Vista...

If your comouter is running VHB, then downgrading it to XP is not a bad idea -- IF and it is a BIG IF there are XP drivers for the computer hardware. I am stuck with Vista on this laptop as Microsoft prevented Toshiba from writing XP drivers for their new models as a way to force people off stable XP and into the wild ride that is Vista...

I am going to yank Vista off this thing and install Open Solaris as the main OS as soon as I can burn the CDs... I will still be able to run a Vista VM
