We recently set up my husband's E1705 (with Vista), instead of my older and slower (painfully slow at times) 1150 (with XP). I installed the 'drivers and utilities' software from CD onto the 1705. After many attempts with no printing, I now see that neither the printer nor our digital camera are on the 'compatible' list for Vista. Is there anything that we can do so that we don't have to use my computer exclusively when we want to print or upload digital pics? Thanks! -- LeAnn |

Rather than use the manufacturer's CD(s) which are probably very old, look at the device manufacturer's websites for the most up to date driver packages. For a digital camera, the quickest and easiest way it to use a card reader. It saves attaching the camera to the PC itself, the card will be seen as a 'removable drive' and can be accessed just like you access your hard drives and optical drives through Windows Explorer. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "LeAnn" <LeAnn@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BD3840CE-CC1B-4F05-B57E-EC8EF36FEA78@microsoft.com... > We recently set up my husband's E1705 (with Vista), instead of my older > and > slower (painfully slow at times) 1150 (with XP).
