I have tried the Windows XP 64bit drivers provided by Samsung as well as
the standard Vista drivers for both Printer and Scanner. With the
standard MS Works sees both functions correctly but won't print, as does
Open Office, The Gimp and Arcsoft (provided with my Canon Rebel camera)
at all times, with the Windows XP_64 bit driver it saw it when setting
up then disappeared on the reboot. From the win 2000 box I followed the
suggests from another forum/post and tried to locate the printer drivers
on the AMD64 box with no result - couldn't see a printer installed.
I know that this is a Vista forum but I'm going to try another Linux OS
and see if there is greater compatibility as Mandriva 2009 doesn't see
the Scanner. I'll let you know.

Hi all,
I don't know if this helps the techies in this forum, but I remembered
I had a US RObotics Max G 5461 Wireless router kicking about (it was
shelved because Linux was not cooperating with it). So I exchanged my
Buffaloe Airstation for it. The USRobotics has a USB port so's it can
act as a print server without going through a Win2K box. Well after a
couple of hours of experimentation I have the AMD64 with Vista Premium
64 bit printing everything I throw at it from SeaMonkey, Google Chrome
or my word processors.
You have to configure the Vista 64 printing setup as a 'Local printer'
on the Vista box though.
Is this of any help to you?

I am having a similar problem with my brand new Dell XPS running Windows
Vista 64bit. The computer is networked and will not print on any of the
installed printers. The machine is directly connected to an HP
OfficeJet G85 and networked to an HP Photosmart 6180. I am unable to
print MS Word documents, MS Windows Mail, or any other software program.
When I check the Printer Status window the document appears there with
a status "Error - Printing". I've tried the Quicken solution above but
was unable to Edit the Permissions for Users, so that did not work for
me. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thus far I have found the Vista 64bit OS has not been backwardly
compatible with my old 32bit products. I had a heck of a time getting
my machine to connect to my wireless router (over six hours on the phone
with MS & Linksys Tech Support) and ended up tossing out a relatively
new Linksys USB wireless for a 64bit compatible plug-in. I suspect this
is simply another 64bit compatibility issue but hope I'm wrong. The OS
does me little good if I have to change out all my other hardware to get
it to work.

I presume you've done the HP method of install on the G85?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01655752&lc=en&dl...n&cc=us
As for the 6180, the full driver package is at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2100&lc=en&dlc=en&c...s&lang=
And you should also check you have the other Updates as well.

I had a similar problem with my Lexmark C524 not printing with the 64 bit
version of Vista. I ended up going to the live chat with a help tech from
the Lexmark support webpage. Since you are using an HP printer I suggest
using HP's live chat support. The Lexmark tech used remote access to find
and fix the problem. Maybe HP can do the same for you.
Good luck,
Scott |
