Do you not know how to look on HP's site for these? It's OK if you don't -
here's how:

1. Open a browser and go to www.hp.com.
2. On the left you'll see a link to "Software & Driver Downloads". Click it.
3. On the next page, in the Product box type the name of your printer, like
Deskjet 6122. Click the double arrows or hit Enter to go to the next page.
4. That page takes you to where you can select your operating system. Click
on Vista. Unless you installed Vista 64 yourself, click on the plain Vista.
5. That brings you to a page that says:

"An alternate driver solution is included in your Windows Vista Operating
system and is already on your computer. There is no need to download
anything at this time.

"This driver makes it possible to use the basic functions for the printer.
There will not be a full-feature Windows Vista driver solution for your
product."

Read further in the page for instructions how to install the printer
drivers, etc.

Now repeat the process for the Deskjet 6540, starting from Step 3. above.

Hope that helped,

You are too kind Malke - perhaps Junior will do it for him!

That assumes that there is a Junior and that he knows anything about
computers! ;-)

Seriously, I have lots of clients who really do not know that you can get
drivers from the hardware mftr.'s website or how to do that so I thought
perhaps this gentleman is like that. After all, just because you don't know
tech stuff doesn't make you a dummy. We all have our areas of expertise.

Cheers,

how do I get my 6122 to work over the network it is attached to my xp desktop
and I have vista 64 sp1 on my notebook. the notebook still wants 6122 driver
which are not compatable and does not recognize alternate drivers
 
Create a local printer targeting a Local Port in the form
\\XPmachine\printshare.

Use have disk to install the latest HP x64 drivers.
