So over a month ago my printer stopped working and ever since I have been trying to fix it to no avail. I have tried uninstalling driver software, updating it, messing with the registry and such to a degree where I am just utterly convinced that A) I should buy an Apple machine as Microsoft needs to completely scrap their OS and start from the ground up due to so many bugs which they are unable to fix and B) Most 'fixes' people propose are just bypasses to problems and don't address the real culprit of the problem. This is my last shot so hope someone can save me from spending $1,500 on a new Apple machine...
Here are system specs:
Gateway FX530XM
Inter Core duo
[email protected]4.00 GB RAM
Vista 32-bit Home Preium
Service Pack 1
Printer HP Photosmart D7360
Basically the printer just disappeared from Vista and quit working. It kept asking me to reinstall the driver and every time I did but the printer would not show up nor could I add it. I just did a system restore but its still not working. Confused and frustrated, please help if you can!
