Technology Geeks ::: Need Help!
Okay, I have a brand new laptop with Windows Vista OS on it. My wireless router, which I used fine with my old laptop (which had Windows XP) is a D-Link Wireless VPN Router (model # DI-824VUP).......
My wireless still works on the new laptop; however with the old laptop I was able to print wirelessly form the laptop to my hard-wired printer. The router has a built in print server.
The problem I have now is that with the Vista OS, the print driver does not match!! So I googled to try and find a print driver for my router for Vista - but to no avail..... Emailed D-Link, haven't heard shizit....
Any ideas????? I really don't wanna have to go and buy a new router

Here is my standard solution for dealing with a Vista related problem:
Uninstall Vista and upgrade to XP Service Pack 2. And I'm not joking.
Vista and drivers just don't jive. Its a lot better now than it was when Vista first came out, but its still abysmal. Vista doesn't work with shit, it has more compatability issues than Dells and Compaqs combined. Do yourself a favor and get rid of it.
Or keep searching for the driver and good luck. You might have to wait for one to come out for it (if it ever does). Alternatively, search for drivers for similar printers with Vista and try them. One of them will probably work at least halfway properly.

You could always run it in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 2 that's what I do for most of my conflicting programs. 
Just right click on the program you are trying to run click the compatibility tab then select windows xp service pack 2 from the drop down menu. I always like to click run as administrator too just to remove any goofy priviledges
