HP printer won't work?

How do I make my HP printer work with my computer?

• I need to print something, and the computer I use just got fixed, so everything's been erased. I've installed the CD of the printer, but it still won't work since when I try to print in Microsoft Word my printer isn't one of the choices. My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one. Help?

• Answer:

  Steps necessary to make sure your printer will work with the Operating System. Step 1: Log on to your computer and visit the HP website to download the latest Vista driver for the All-in-One printer. While you are at the HP support website, be sure to sign up for driver alerts--these email alerts will let you know whenever a new driver is available for your equipment. Step 2: Log on to the Microsoft website and use the Vista Upgrade Advisor to make sure the HP All-in-One printer you have will work properly with Vista. Step 3: Connect the printer to your computer by plugging the square end of the USB cable into the printer and the flat end of the cable into a free USB port on your computer. Plug the printer in and turn it on. Step 4: Install the Vista driver you downloaded from HP. After the driver has been installed, be sure to print a test page to make sure the All-in-One printer is working properly.
