usb connection with printer hpphotosmart8150

hi there!

i write this few rows and i hope somebody can help.

operating system: vista home premium (german)
computer: hp notebook (brand new,vista was installed)

and the problme i have is following. when i connect the printer to the usb
slot,i only get the information,that there is a new device,but no driver for
this device is available on the computer.
BUT the newest driver made by HP is installed!!!
is there anybody with similar Problems?

also similar problem with an USB Card reader...

my suggestion is to uninstall Vista and install XP or w2k,because with that
operating systems i never had such "simple" problems.

but i don't want to unistall Vista!

Please help

best regards

Wolf

I am waiting CD from HP --- and hoping to help my promlem, same kind as you

I am wondering, why they dont have ready resolution.
I think, that many others have same problem.
