HP Printer Continually Drops Off Vista OS

Hi, I have an HP C5180 All In One Printer.
It is connected to a LAN via the Ethernet Card.
HP Drivers load onto Vista and work for about 2 weeks, but then printer disappears from Printer Location and I have to reload driver again. This fault seems common to all Vista Machines.
Drivers all load OK onto Xp Machines and remain operational OK.

Click on Start -> All Programs -> HP -> HP Update and run this utility. Last month, HP released an update that directly addresses this issue with the PhotoSmart series printers and computers using Vista. You should install any updates listed here, including the connectivity update.

You would need to download the software for your printer again and then install it on your computer. You can download it from here. Once it is installed, look for the scanner icon or HP Director which would have scanner icon.

HP Photosmart C5180 Cant upload pics from the memory card slots

Didn't try via USB. Via ethernet connect i can reach the card reader by entering '\\printer' in an explorer window. You can find the name of your C5180 on the network settings in the printer menu.

Hope this helps
