I bought myself a Christmas present of an HP Deskjet 6840 wireless
printer and am having difficulty getting it set up on all the
computers on my WPA-TKIP enabled network. It is installed and working
fine on a 98se desktop wired to my Belkin F5D-7230-4 router and
wireless to the printer. It also is setup and works fine on my son's
new wireless G internal laptop through the router. The problem is
with my Sony Vaio R505 laptop with a Belkin wireless G card. The
setup program finds the printer and goes 3/4 of the way through setup
and then encounters and reports a "severe error" dialog and must
uninstall and reboot---try again" I have manually setup the enu
driver file through printers setup in windows and installed the basic
driver and it prints but is "hobbled" without the addl. software and
bi-directional communication implemented. I am really pulling my hair
out with this one and HP chat and tech support has been of little help
in figuring this out. The XP machines including the offending Sony
are updated to SP-2 and all the computers network together perfectly.
If there was going to be a problem I would have expected the 98SE
desktop to be the problem but it loaded and functions just fine.
Thanks in advance.
John
