why is it not able to install it?

how can i update that driver using windows update?? the printer do not
result in the "hardware list"... but only in printers window... so i cannot
right click on it and do a "update driver"

Any suggestion on how to update it?

Thank you,
best regards

May I respectfully suggest that you do not let Windows Update update any of
your drivers. Bad practise, I believe.

Why don't you go to the HP web site and download any new drivers from there.
It is a lot safer and you can save the driver to your hard drive and then
install after you have logged off the net.

That's the way I would do it. By all means, find out from Windows Update
what's available and then go to the HP site and download from there.

Becouse HP do not have any driver available, and they are available on
on windows update:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...9 488&lang=en

anyone know why windows update fails when trying to update that driver?

That link is not on Windows Update -- it is clearly on the HP website
even if Windows Update points to it. Have you checked what Windows
update says and whether the driver is dated after January 2007?

And if you follow that link it just tells you how to install the driver
that comes "in the box" which is probably why it fails since it is
already there .....

In other words, as others say, don't believe everything that Windows
Update suggests for third party hardware. Time and again I've seen them
suggest installing an update for my video card and if I check the
manufacturer they do not have one more uptodate than the one I have.
You will also note that Microsoft's Windows Update never gives any
useful information about the driver version number they suggest.
