Can anyone point me to a list of printers that work with Vista? I have the
HP Photosmart 7350, and it definitely does not seem to work. I am ready to
get a new printer anyway, and if I am buying one, I would like to get on that
I know will work with Vista.
 
I got the 7350 to work and here is the solution. You must have access to the
installed driver on another system either from P2P or access to the drive of
the XP system in a dul boot setup. Install the Hp software on the Vista
system and when it says to connect the printer let it try, but cancel when it
cannot find it. This will set up the correct USB/DOT4 devices, but will
uninstall the driver. Then go to add printer and click have disk. Locate
the driver on the P2P or XP drive and the printer will appear in the list.
Install it... Good luck
 
After many days of trying different ways to get my LJ3015 printer working
under Vista x64 b 5384 , I now have it working! Here's what I did:

Used my original driver disk for XP 32-bit OS and installed under Vista
using Compability mode for XP sp2. At the point during the install when it
asked whether the USB printer is locally installed or attached to network, I
moved my USB cable from the XP workstation it was connected to, over to the
Vista box, and...voila!....it found the printer and successfully loaded the
drivers. I then shared it and pointed it back at the CD for x86 XP driver
install.
After this, I simply connected to this shared printer from XP, and I now
have printing on Vista...!
I am very happy, as this was the last feature I could not get to work. I
even got sound working on my WinTV PVR 150 card after several exasperating
tries...
