    Can't find drivers for new mouse and printer
    Hi there,

    I was just given a printer and a mouse and I need to find FREE drivers for them.

    The mouse is a Targus model: PAUM004U

    The printer is an HP PSC2355xi


    Please and thank you.

    For the printer, go to HP's own site:

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ye&product=422002 &

    As for the mouse, chances are it'll just work if you plug it in (for a USB mouse anyway). The driver isn't on the official Targus site so your next bet would be DriverGuide:

    http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=229736

    You can sign up for a free account and download the mouse driver.

    It doesn't work if you just plug it in, that's why I'm looking for the driver. Thanks for the links, I will try them.

    I can't sign up for an account, it just sends to tons of "free" sign up crap.

    Hmmm...

    You're correct! It's not self-evident there...

    I'll have a look!

    I'm not sure that it's specifically about the mouse that you have. However, maybe the one listed on the following page of the site will work? Sometimes the drivers do, if they're at least for the same brand and close to the type of model, anyway.

    Have you rebooted your computer after installing a driver?

    I have no idea if it'll work but there is a driver for the PAUM004U-01, the next model up. It could be worth giving that a shot:

    Thank you, I will try that one.

    Clough, yes I'm rebooting. And for some reason the printer driver didn't work.
