I did add the printer over the network, and I thought that at least I could get printing working (scans would not), except now for some reason the printer connection fails when I'm trying to print documents in duplex. I tried bloody EVERYTHING to get a clean install, including running some special uninstallers provided in the large >180 MB driver package. The installer would always fail right after detecting my printer, with a giant X and a "Device setup failed to complete" error. Then I removed and reinstalled the drivers, and also noticed that HP released a hotfix for Windows 7 圆4 machines as somehow that was a known issue. So I thought, maybe I should rerun the printer installer from the Start menu. Then at some point, I recall seeing the printer not showing up at all in the Printers folder. It was to be a wireless connection between the printer and the router. For a while, the drivers for my Photosmart C6380 installed just fine on a fresh Windows 7 圆4 install on my laptop. Now a decade later, the same thing happens. Sometimes the prints would suddenly fail, and the print job would remain stuck in the printer folder until after a reboot (was using Windows 95/98 at the time). I say 'crap' as what I'm experiencing right now is very similar to what I got almost ten years ago with my first printer, a DeskJet 695. Kind of hoping for a solution here other than a reformat and reinstall, and I definitely don't want to do that over just a set of crappy printer drivers.
