As I was sitting here bored I Googled your problem. &nbsp;There are tons of threads talking about problems with the 2840 and Vista, with no solutinos in any of them. &nbsp;At one point (in March) HP was recommending downgrading to XP to work with those printers.<br />
<br />
Sorry, hopefully someone else can find something.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
ok, so i had to get some new pcs for a client (vista business) they have HP 2840's located in their offices and use theses as their main printers.<br />
<br />
I added the 2840 to the new vista pc printing over the net via IP, not connected to the pc itself.<br />
<br />
As soon as i did this the spooler subsystem crashed. &nbsp;I removed it from the system and cleaned up the registry: &nbsp;Start -&gt; Run - Regedit -&gt; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -&gt; SYSTEM -&gt; ControlSet001 -&gt;<br />
&gt;&nbsp;Control -&gt; Print -&gt; Environments -&gt; Windows NT x86 -&gt; Version -3 -&gt; Removed<br />
&gt;&nbsp;All HP Printers From Here.<br />
<br />
As soon as i did that the printer subsysem started again. if i add the HP again, even with the latest drivers from hp it keeps crashing the subsystem.<br />
<br />
Any clues as to how to get around this ?<br />

Vista Business and This Printer dont see eye to eye

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
