Okay, I consider myself pretty computer savvy, but acknowledge that I haven't kept up with the times on all this stuff because it's getting harder to grasp. LOL So, could someone please provide easy step-by-step instructions on how to get my 64-bit Vista laptop to share my HP OfficeJet 6110 with my 32-bit XP Desktop?
The printer is hooked up to the 32-bit and I believe the printer has network and wireless capability. I may have to download some drivers for the wireless, but I can get those from HP. It just seems that whenever you try to contact these people (HP and Canon), they simply tell you they don't have drivers for 64-bit computers, nor do they have any plans to develop any for older models.
No instructions are given by these printer companies for properly setting them up to get them to work. So, all this time, we just assumed we'd have to buy a new printer to work with both. Of course, that's what they want you to think so you'll go buy one and put more money into their greedy little hands.
Rather than spend more money on a new printer after spending some serious bucks for this supped up laptop, we decided to put our beloved laptop up for sale and use that money to buy a 32-bit laptop that would work with our existing printer.
Now I'm reading that it's possible to get it to work with our printer? Why isn't this information provided by Microsoft? Did the printer companies buy them off? I sure am glad this laptop hasn't sold, yet, and will be removing my listing until I get this figured out.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
