Printer Problems

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded to Windows7 as had problems with Vista (who hasn't?) Anyway I share a printer an officejet G85, but since I've changed I can't upload the printer software as it doesn't recognise the new Windows. So I have two questions,
    1) is there something I can do, like download a programme to make it work?

    2) if I can't get it working is there a printer relatively cheap (say under eryday€150) that you would recommend? It's not something that I would use everyday. Thanks!

    Hi Sham,

    according to HP, that printer driver should already be in windows 7. did you plug the printer in and turn it on?

    I can talk you through a few things if you want to PM me.

    edit: I just re-read that post and I should have re-phrased it: when you plug in and turn on the printer, windows 7 should recognise it and install automatically.
