Thank you so much for your post, It helped me a lot. I almost downgraded back
to XP. We bought a new Toshiba Vista Premium, and because It was not working
with the Laserjet 3030, I talked to Toshiba and they told me know no XP
drivers are for my laptop, so I was starting to find out each component of
the laptop so I could find the drivers from the chip manufacturer, you know
what a waste of time.
Thank you again for your post and the solution.
