I bought a new computer, with OS Windows 7. It doesn't seem to like my hp
deskjet 845c. It rejected my CD for driver installation. Then I downloaded a
driver directly from the hp website. After installation and trying to print
something, I see a message "Waiting for the printer to intialise..." Also,
the "Print" key is greyed.

Any suggestions?

New discovery. When I select "Send to OneNote", the greyed Print button
becomes black. The printer still doesn't print, however.

I hope this will give someone a clue as to what I need to do. Can anyone
recommend a different ng or forum to discuss this problem?

You might try one of the HP Forums. I no longer have an HP printer, but
found them to be helpful when I did.

The 845 is a very old printer. I went to HP's site, searched for 845
drivers, and it says drivers are built into Win7!

Here is HP's link:
