Need to install HPPhotosmart printer to my laptop run with Window Vista

Hi, I just bought this new Dell LapTOP with the Window Vista Home Premium and I need to connect it with our wireless printer HP Photosmart series 5100 - C-5180 All-in-One. I had to download the software and STILL THE PRINTER DOES NOT WANT TO INSTALL. I went to see an sales rep where I bought it, at Staples, and they couldn't do it neither & suggested me to get a hold of your support service as you would be able to solve my problem. Please let me know if I can to call instead as I need it to be connected by Tuesday, Feb 19th. Thank you for your support.

    I am trying to connect my HP photosmart C5180 that I previously used on my desktop computer with Windows XP (worked great then). I now have Vista and have not been able to succesfully download the driver from the HP website. It installs for 5 minutes, then checks it and says it is not there. I print on it by chooosing HP 7200 series. I am not sure how that ended up an option on my computer. The scanner does not work at all.

    I use Vista pro. I installed the printer (network), used it for a while, worked fine but then disapeared. I deinstalled everything (softwares and drivers) and reinstalled it. The install wizard asks me for network or local. I choose network so that everyone at home can use it. I can see the C5180 availabe on the network and it even gives me its S/N. I choose it and click ok but next step doesn't work. I get a big red X saying that the printer is not available. I am not behind a firewall and even if I was, I have not changed my specs before and after the problem. It just stopped working.

    My roomates are using macs and they can still print and scan without any problems.

    i haven't been able to use our hp c5180 as a printer from my new laptop using vista either. Plus now when it prints from the desktop it's wired to it prints every other page in landscape on all projects.

    Yes, I too have the same problem with the HP Photosmart printer C5180 - I have a DELL Laptop with Windows Vista and I need to be able to print from my laptop directly onto the printer. Please advise.

  • kalejo5 Sep 25, 2008

    yup, same problem here with my new Gateway laptop with Window Vista and my hp c5180 printer. I even tried to download the proper driver and still it doesn't work. What next?

  • Anonymous Jan 23, 2009

    I installed the appropriate C5180 drivers from the Web site to use this printer with Windows Vista Home Premium. After a install, the computer recognizes the printer and works fine. However, if I turn the computer off and restart, the printer is no longer recognized by the computer...not even listed in the available printer list when I have gone into the control panel and checked the printer settings.

My friend bought a new dell laptop & got vindows vista home premium for free when i wanted install that vista in my pc it installed on my pc bt now it is not activating with my friends vista's...

Hi,
I assume you are using the Vista disk that came in with the system. Even though you can see a product key on your friends computer, It would not work on your own computer because that product key is intended only for that DELL computer. The windows Vista that your friend has is an OEM copy of the operating system. The product key should match the Hardware of the OEM computer for it to work.
I suggest you get a genuine copy of the operating system for your self.
Hope this helps.

Old Lexmark 1200 printer not working with new Dell Studio laptop

you need to go to the "lexmark.com website" and download the new "vista" driver, it was looking for XP, and they are two different programs, also you can go to "control panel", and Open scanners and Printers, and see if the vista "hardware wizard" picks it up, and installs it too, let me know if this helps, god bless......

Invalid Partition Table

now a day, no installation CD or DVD come with any of the new laptop anymore. you need to make a backup copy of the operating system when you first fired it up. if yu did. you still can make a backup from programs>accessories>backup.
but since the laptop is DOA. look for your receipt, the laptop should have one year warranty from best-buy. if not it should be have the warrant from DELL.
since you don't have the DVD. you can request one from DELL.
