possibly wrong forum, but...
Recently bought a Dell laptop with Vista home basic and an HP C3180 all-in-one printer for my wife's university work.
Vista seems to work okay (resource hog that it is) but I'm having a h3ll of a time with the printer.
Every single freakin' time she shuts the laptop down (complete shut down, not standby) it "discovers" the printer on startup, and generates a "new" printer.
After some time there are a dozen or more C3180's in the printer folder and printing ceases to happen. All instances have to be deleted and re-installation of the printer done from scratch.
Any ideas? I'm ready to heave it in the ocean (laptop AND printer)
My next machine (this weekend) is an iMac.
