I'm using Windows XP and I have an HP Officejet 4500 wireless all-in-one printer. If I may at this point give a little background, it might help. When we first got the printer, we installed it from the disc on two laptops and it was working fine for a while [ maybe a month] than we stared getting the message that we couldn't print because the printer was Offline. So we called the HP helpline and they walked us through but my fiance' went ahead and did the installation with the cable, as she uses the printer to type work related notes and couldn't rely on it not working on and off. So she hasn't had any problen as long as she uses the USB cable. I on the other hand was doing fine still using it from my laptop wireless. Than I two started getting the message that I couldn't print because the printer was offline. We tried everything to no avail. Very, very fustrating. So I decided to uninstall the printer and than reinstall it on my laptop, figuring that would do the trick. Well in all the confusion we misplaced the installation CD, so I went ahead and downloaded everything to install it from the HP website and low and behold, it works great now. I can print from my computer and did several test prints and everything went well. Well I decided to scan something in and when I went to open The HP Solution Center I get a error message saying the Solution Center can not run because my installation wasn't complete. Odd because I can print from my computer so I know the installation was good. So this is where I stand now. I hope I didn't overburden you with this sad story, but I'm really befuddled by all of this and truly hope you can help.........thanks so much, Tommy
