I have checked the HP Web site to see if drivers are available for
Vista.

The web site states that a basic driver is available with limited
features. It does not say which features.

Does anyone know what features are there. If it only leaves off all
the excess garbage of the XP driver no problems.

But does it allow 2 sided duplex printing, or is there a full list of
paper sizes. This is the sort of info that is needed, but is not
listed

Thanks for info

I'm running the HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one on Windows Vista Home Premium.
It printed but the scanner and fax featured wouldn't work. These are the
instructions I was given and everything worked just fine:
As the HP software is bundled for XP and the prior versions of windows
it is not compatible with Vista for this you have to install HP Full
feature drivers by which you can use the All-in-One as before.

I am happy to inform you that full-feature software driver for your
product in Windows Vista are available for download from our web site.

Perform the following steps to uninstall and reinstall the All-in-One
software.
