A Few Days into Vista

Well I mentioned “Computer-ific” in the previous post. I must say that after reinstalling 99% of my software, so far so good. There were a few tweaks, but nothing major.

One thing I have found.. Printers. Sometimes they install easily, sometimes they will only install and be available for certain applications, sometimes not at all. If you have a network printer and change your network – be careful. I could not remap a new (IP address) to the old driver. I had to add a new printer (Copy 1) in order for it to print. Even trying to add a new TCP/IP Port would not allow the printer to print. In the list of printers, it would classify as ‘Ready’, but sending a job to the spooler would only cause it to hang. I would have to Stop and Restart the Spooler application to release the stuck job.

Waiting on Windows 7.. (and it’s only been about a month on this Vista install!)
