Hi all,
I have a 'new' printer that i bought in a sale but a label on it says 2005 so i was told to download the updated software online.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best places to find software downloads?
Printer is a HP photo printer and i have vista on my laptop..
I am a bit paranoid about it as the last time i did it on my previous laptop with the enclosed CD the HDD went after 2wks although ive been reassured this was not connected.

Chances are that Vista already has the drivers for an HP printer, it had for my trusty psc2110.
Plug in the printer, go online and let Vista sort it out.That gum you like is coming back in style.0
