Hi - I'm new to this forum, having just recently purchased a laptop with Windows 7 on it. I'm still finding my way and am currently trying to make my older HP PSC 2210 All-in-one printer work. When I plugged in the USB cable, it didn't recognize the printer or load any drivers (as far as I could tell). I tried using the disc that came with the printer but got a message saying it wasn't compatible with the OS. If I go into the Devices and Printer screen, the laptop shows there but with a checkmark saying it needs troubleshooting. I've tried and tried the troubleshooting screens, but nothing seems to help. I have tried the "work around" for installing the basic printer driver, but that doesn't seem to do anything. What am I missing here? I'd sure like to be able to use this printer as there's nothing wrong with it except being "old"! Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks for the link, Oaklawn. I have already tried that - but no luck!
