Hi all,
I have a HP PSC 2500 Photosmart All-In-One Series printer setup on my wireless network at home. I have just successfully installed the drivers only (a minimal install) for the printer on one of my PCs. However, after the installation, there is no icon for it in the "Printers and Faxes" folder in Control Panel, nor an option to send a print job to it in Microsoft Word, even though the printer was detected on the network during setup. Rebooting the PC after installation made no difference.
Interestingly, the "Add/Remove Programs" facility states that the size of the HP PSC 2500 drivers installed on my PC is only 28MB, yet the minimal installation is supposed to be 100MB.
I then attempted a full installation, but still no icon for the printer. (I made sure that I had shut down my virus scanner before the installations).
My PC uses Windows XP Service Pack 2 and receives a good network signal from the wireless router.
Might there be something interrupting or interfering with the driver installation?
The strange thing is, I dont have this problem on any of the other computers on the network (1 other PC and 2 laptops all using Windows XP - I performed a minimal install on these).
Cheers
Tristan
