Network-shared Deskjet 5650 in Vista? Not going to happen.

By | March 27, 2009

Apparently, I can’t use my network-shared HP Deskjet 5650 in Vista.  You see, Vista only supports this printer using a generic driver when connecting via USB or parallel cable.

In other words, if I want to print in Vista using my HP Deskjet 5650, I have to be directly connected to it.  I can’t set it up on a server – either Linux or Windows – and share it with the Vista machine.

That is extremely lame.
