I was very frustrated to learn that my printer will not work with windows vista. After all the expense of upgrading to a new machine and reinstalling everything! I was ready to switch back to Windows XP as this printer is a great heavy duty and very reliable one, not like the cheap crapy ones. However at least it working now. I used the 7800 driver which left me with minimal options, however at least it works. Thanks for your help all. HP should be ashamed of this. After all their promotion in recyling!!!! So I do recycle the cartridges, but according to HP, if I have a working printer I have to throw it away. Yeahhh right.

Hmmm, those options let me run the install, but after the “must reboot now” message after installing, it hangs at a black screen.
