Posted July 23, 200816 yr I have Notebook and Desktop PC running Vista (32/64bit) using this printer thru a Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N router. Both PCs are attached to the router via ethernet and the printer is attached to the router via 802.11g (wireless). I have found that the HP software (HP Digital Imaging Monitor) will hang if the printer is powered off at PC startup. This hung state will also cause the HP Solution Center software to hang if it is started. I have reported the problem to HP and I hope this will be fixed in the next update to there software. A temperary fix for those who turn off their printer when it is not in use is to remove or disable "HP Digital Imaging Monitor" in the startup folder and put a shortcut on the desktop, program list, or Quick Launch Toolbar. You can print without this software but if you want to do more (eg. scan from your PC) you will have to start "HP Digital Imaging Monitor" manually via the shortcut you created.
