You should be able to download it from www.hp.com.

Be sure they have the driver you need for your laptop. For an older printer, it could be that there's no Vista driver. In such a case, return the printer to your friend.

The jets in my car's engine are beyond what I'll do or even get the equipment to do that.

However the cost of printer jets or service can be more than a new printer. You need to cost it out.

When people ask me I only have two answers.
Mar 20, 2009 12:13AM PDT

1. Get what you like.
2. Or copy others.

My favorite printer is the HP k550 line. Built for office use, the paper handling is amazing. Print speed is great and for me the printing costs are not more than average.

My next favorite printer is any HP laser. BW printing may be dull but it is cheap.

Items I don't buy. I paid for my printer and will not refill or use non-brand printer supplies. Why should I when I can print so cheap already?

Yes,
You are right. While our work has done by cheaper printer than we need not to spent extra money on branded printer. But on disadvantage of cheap printer is that after service.

Thanks

Here's our family, office and friends, printer of choice.

The HP k550.

It's a tank. Do not drop this on your feet. The print speed is great and it's paper handling far better than what you see in consumer printers. It's now years old and doing fine.

It was not expensive and has never needed service.
