Can't use Windows Vista to print from hp laserjet 1000 series

I have downloaded the right printer driver, and I have also tried the 6p printer driver download. The HP website says Vista is incompatible with this printer. What now? Thank for any suggestions.

yes, the drivers you downloaded don't work on certain systems and not sure why.
however, buying/acquiring the hub below you will solve a similar problem i had:
Belkin F5U021 USB Hub
connect the above usb hub w/power adaptor between the hp1000 and the computer with vista on it and they will begin communicating like ol' friends.
why the hub works is beyond my knowledge. but if i were to take a guess, the hub regulates the data speed between the fast vista usb data speed for the slower hp1000 usb speed.
i had bought the hub a long time ago when usb 1.0 was big time. but then put it away when everything jumped to usb 2.0 in winxp. i think that vista jumped to beyond 2.1 or something, which made many old slower usb devices incompatiable.
but regardless of how or why, this is the only hub that makes IT WORK - buy it !!!

Can I use my bluetooth to print from my IPAD

Is there anyway I can print directly from my IPAD using my bluetooth?

As far as I can tell, there is no way to print directly from your iPad to a printer via Bluetooth.
Apple created audio and keyboard "drivers" for Bluetooth on the iPad, but they did not add functionality to send printable content via Bluetooth.
Apparently, there is a technology called AirPrint that will work for iPad printing, but it is specific to only certain printers - and it uses WiFi (i.e., the Internet) to print rather than Bluetooth.
There are also several printing programs that will essentially pipe your pages to your desktop Mac/PC (or the software developer's server), and then send them back to your local computer - but those seem cumbersome at best.
So, the answer to your question is that there seems to be no way to print from your iPad via Bluetooth, becaue the Bluetooth technology on the current iPad will only transmit audio or keystrokes.
If someone knows of another option, I'd like to hear about it, too.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

Bluegrassbarry you can download and install Illustrator CS6 from Download CS6 products. Do you currently have a Creative Cloud Membership?

Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
How do I transfer the library from the 160gb to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thanks

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

Have you updated your iTunes? iOS7 requires at least iTunes 11.

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
