Go to manually add a network printer and then have it search Windows Update for drivers. That's what HP suggests to do.
Yeah, but the problem is that adding a printer doesn't give you that option.

I found a solution by adding a local printer and creating a port to //machinename/share

It gave me the option to go to search Windows Update and download the driver.

once the driver was loaded, I removed the printer, and re-added it.

It gets kind of goofy here, as it showed the printer was there, but couldn't connect or print to it.

I went back and forth from machine to machine. I even tried going into Virtual PC in XP mode. I was able to add it there "normally", but it still didn't work, though this time I was able to cancel the print Job remotely. I looked at the properties from VPC/XP, and it showed the printer as connected to the new port I created. I changed it back to LPT1:, and it started working.

Exit VPC/XP, and did the same to WIN7. It started working as well.

I'd love to give credit to whoever pointed me in the right direction, but I can't find where I got it from.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-HP-Deskjet-820Cse-Network-Printer-23238719 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:59:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-HP-Deskjet-820Cse-Network-Printer-23237464 --

Vista didn't have that problem. I went to HP website and they say there isn't a specific Win7 Driver for the printer, but If I plug in the USB cable, it should detect it and use a generic HP Driver.

2 Things wrong with that.
1. Network Printer.
2. Parallel Interface on Printer. and no parallel port on Win7 Machine.

Any Ideas how I can Connect to this printer?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/WIN7-HP-Deskjet-820Cse-Network-Printer-23236425 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:20:03 EDT
