I have two separate networks in two different locations, both Vista Ultimate environments and they both have HP lasterjet printers hooked up directly to network through print servers. Printing from anything like the web works fine, but when I go to print from the Windows image viewer my laser printers do not show up as an option to print to. My Photo printer does show up which is hooked up directly to the computer through USB. This is the case in both networks. Has anyone experienced similar problems or know of a solution?

You may want to try assigning an IP address to the printers, and then instead of adding the printers on your computer throught the network, add them using a local tcp/ip port.

In both cases the printers do have static IP's. They are also both configured through logical tcp/ip ports. Any other suggestions?

Let me see if i understand your problem correctly. You can use the printers fine... except for when using Windows Image Viewer, correct?

Thats about it, All of my printers except for the networked lasers show up in the printers list.
