HP Photosmart 7700 Printer Drivers for Windows Vista Installation Failure
July’s Patch Tuesday brought a nice little surprise (though that didn’t last long): Among the list of optional Windows Vista updates was an HP driver for the Photosmart 7700 printer series (I have an old 7760). The patch was dated June 10. I have no idea why it didn’t show up in the list until tonight since other Vista updates have arrived between Patch Tuesdays.
Unfortunately, two tries and a reboot in between was not enough to get the driver to install. Each attempt failed.
