HP Deskjet printer buying guide

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline and I’m having difficulty getting it to read anything placed in the E: drive.
I bought a HP Photosmart Premium (print/scan/copy) today and can’t download the printer software because the computer can’t find the software - even when the disc is in. I’ve shut down, the computer, completely a couple of times and am still having the same problem.
I’ve even went to ‘add printer’ and am still having the same problem.
Does anyone what could be causing this? How do I get it to recognize drive E:?
I am using Windows Vista.

I am trying to copy a few pic onto my travel drive so I can print the pics on my HP Photosmart………. when I put the flash (travel drive) into the photosmart printer it says -0- prints……..I know how to do it, why would it not be saving onto the flash??? Thank you

Go to the link below and just select your operating system.

hi i just bought the SanDisk USB Flash Drive and my computer recognizes it but my scanner doesnt recognize the device when i plug it into my printer. i have the HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One printer which has a scanner, fax, and copy machine as well..and when i plug it into my printer it says “Unknown device. Disconnect device. Refer to printer documentation to troubleshoot.” i tried disconnecting the device and the same message appeared. how do i fix this?? the flash drive works on my computer but not on my printer…help!!!

When I connect my hard drive (usb) to my computer, it no longer shows up as a hard drive. Instead, it says HP Photosmart C4200. I have an HP printer hooked up to this computer and when I hook up the hard drive t just puts another HP Photosmart C4200 in the My Computer folder as if i have 2 of them.
This renders my hard drive inaccessible.
