It’s a HP Laserjet3055 All in one Printer Can someone advise which one out of the many I select to download. I have a choice of : Driver, Driver-Product Installation Software, Driver /’universal Driver/ Software Universal Print Driver and a few more but I’ve elimated them The site is h20000.www2.hp.com I have Vista, I/E 8 Many thanks	ktee (5538)

1242575	2011-11-09 02:52:00	Ta I just had a further look under that category and theres 3 choices , PCL5, PCL6 and postscript, they're all pretty large 17-19mb. Under just "Driver" theres some of 7mb that say Driver packages and others of 33mb saying Plug and Play scan Print driver package	ktee (5538)

1242577	2011-11-09 07:15:00	Thanks. After I googled I worked out that PCL6 was newer, that was a start and I only wanted to use it for bulk printing so didn't bother with scanning option. I then had a choice of Run or Save picked run, them found out I should of picked save. Couldnt find it any where. Then found instrctions to install from Printer file "add printer". And I couldnt believe it, just printed a test pg it works. Alas as the exe is somewhere in a temp file I'll probably loose it and have to reinstall. Time for a rest	ktee (5538)
