Hello,I have a HP Compaq Presario laptop, brand new, running Windows Vista Home Premium. I have correctly installed my printer (an HP 3100 Series) and all drivers. I don't have my laptop always connected to the printer. Every time I connect my printer to my laptop (same port each time), I have to reinstall the printer and drivers again and again and again. This is driving me crazy and I don't understand why this is happening.Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, appreciate it!

Try setting the printer to a fixed IP address, such as 192.168.1.77 If you
are on a network hub, the assignment should be done there as it issues the
addresses.
