Windows 7. I can print to my HP P2015D but my computer won’t recognize my HP 5600 Laser Jet. A computer with XP has no problems.
What can I do to make Windows 7 compatible with the laser jet?

Hello, I think there are two possible options for this. One, try running the installation in compatibility view, and the other is to run the installation as administrator.
