Windows Vista, Airport Extreme & HP Printer

Question

Windows Vista, Airport Extreme & HP Printer

Okay... I am running a mac G5 dual 2 ghz w/ OS X 10.4.10 connect to an Airport Extreme base station. I have connected an HP PSC 1210v to it and can print from the mac G5 intermittently. I am also trying to use aan HP Pavilion dv6000 w/Vista Home Premium.

I have installed Bonjour for Windows from the CD included with the Airport Extreme. It installs the print driver and I can print, however, it gets 3/4 of the way through the page then errors out.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I saw the one about using a generic postrscript driver, however when I go through the bonjour install I don't see this as an option.

Help... this is driving me crazy!

PowerPC G5, 2 ghz Dual Processor, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have been in the crazy house with you for a while, until I went to Apple's Bonjour download and got the latest update. If you used the software that came with your Airport station (if applicable/old cd) look at the sys requirements. Vista wasn't mentioned...all you have to do is update your Bonjour version, and whala!

You should get a laundry list of Bonjour compatible printers by manufacturer and model.(This is all in your printer setup wizard)

Good luck, hope this helps.
