HP printer drivers

1. I uninstalled all HP drivers and Printers from both machines...

2. I re-installed a new HP driver on the XP machine from the internet..

3. Once the new driver was instaled on the XP machine. I restarted the
Vista machine and it installed a driver for the 5150 from Vista. (Don't know
which driver it was. I didn't think there was a 5150 driver loaded with
Vista) and tried to print to the XP . It would not print. Something about
the spooling .

4. I then restarted the Vista machine and tried to print a test page.. It
would not print..

5. Typed a silly sentence in Wordpad and tried to print. And it works..

6. There must be a computer God.

I believe my printer is not compatible with Vista. It's an HP 3420 that
I purchased almost four years ago. I installed it on my computer with
Vista, but when I ask it to print files it does not send them to the
spool. When I try to print internet pages, a popup shows up on my
computer that says: "A website wants to open this program using your
computer..." The program is the spool directory. So I allow it, and
nothing happens, and if I don't allow it, nothing ALSO happens. Any
solutions to my printer problems? Is it just that this printer is not
compatible?
