My c4100 [3in1] printer is not compatible with My Pavilion a6101 Windows Vista Processor. What can I do please?

Is this in Device Manager? Did you notice this after the Win 7 upgrade? If so , it's a common problen when upgrading, Is that the only issue? Your Card Reader work? Modem? Co-processor? I have a HP Pavilion DV9320us I loaded Win 7 64bit Ultimate on with similar issues, modem, co-processor, card reader, etc. Use the Win Vista drivers, modify the drivers for Win 7. HP drivers found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=ca&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=3548477& AND change compatibility of drivers , This will give you the general idea: http://www.techsupportforum.com/4478-installing-a-device-driver-under-compatibility-mode-in-windows-7/

just type this line in google there are many option download it

Here is the link for your printer:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=239&modelid=8152#DownloadDetailAct

Choose your OS, where it lists the driver click on that link and then agree to the terms. It has drivers for windows 7 and drivers for vista. If the windows 7 driver doesn't work then choose the vista driver. If neither work then your printer is outdated for the OS that your running.
