I tried to install the driver (off the CD) for my HP 6210ix all-in-on
officejet printer and of course, vista doesn't like it.

When installing, it says that I need administrator priviliges (I have)

I went to HP to install the driver off their website and of course the
say I have the most current version.

I set up a separate administrator user and it still would not instal
for the same reason.

Of course the vista driver for this printer also says that I nee
administrator priviliages as well

Any ideas to solve this problem

Thank yo

This may work, did for me, remove everything that you have installed to
drive the printer, then without CD installing, go directly to the HP site,
type in the printer name and download the Vista drivers. May not help, but I
found first installing from CD and then downloading new drivers on top
didn't work.

Had the same problem, then turned off UAC and it installed fine.
