    HP 2101nw wireless print server


    I have been using this device but after upgrading to win 7 64 bit home premium. HP has no driver for win 7 and no plans to write one. Does anyone have a driver or a work-around for this configuration? If not, can anyone recomend a device that will work with 7 and hp printers?

    If there is a vista x64 driver for it, chances are it will run flawlessly on windows 7

    HP support


    HP support was non existant. I called HP and they only offer support via email from India, and they were useless. Originally they told me I had a defective ddevice and I should get another one. Out of desperation, I did that. The new deice did nt install either and HP-India than told me that there was no Win7 driver and I was S..out of luck! The install disk does say XP or Vista, no 7 driver.
