Thanks, But I figured it out.... I still had a software package trying to access to printer. Removed the software and the message is gone....Have you connected with a usb cable mate?
OK, can I please ask you to spoon feed it to me? I just got Vista, have a Photosmart 1215, and Vista won't let me search for a driver for a USB printer. I go to "add printer" and it goes looking for a generic IEEE driver without giving me a chance to specify what printer (e.g. 7200) to look for a driver for. What steps worked for you?I think I found a workaround for this, or at least a driver that works for the HP photosmart 1215. The 7200 is very close to being the same printer so I tried manually adding a printer with the printer usb pluged in and printer turned on using the HP Photosmart 7200 Series drivers Vista provides and it seems to be working pretty well.

If this doesn't work try
Option 2: Dot4_001 (Generic IEEE 1284.4 Printing Support)
Click "Next"
Select "HP" under Manufacturer
Select "HP OfficeJet Pro L7600" or "HP Photosmart 7200)"
Click "Next"
The program will install and let you know that it installed successfully. It will then run a test print page. If it works-congratulations!
If it didn't: I advise deleting the "HP L7600 or HP 7200 series" you downloaded and go through the steps again. Find the closest match to your series and download. You will eventually find the one that works for you-I did!
Rememeber! Delete the series that didn't work for you before downloading another series.
Baby steps...
I am going to try these drivers for my hp photosmart 1215Worked for my system as well. Thank you.
Vista is fucking stupid. Doesn't work on my computer. It fucking makes all my fucking programs fucking crash. I fucking hate fucking Vista because it is fucking gay.
