Hey, that may be a good idea. HP has a software patch when upgrading
Vista to Windows 7 so maybe I could load the Vista version and then the
patch and see what happens. I did a clean load of Windows 7 on a new
machine as opposed to any upgrade. I still have three systems that are
running XP so I just may go back to one of them......never did have Vista.

That's where laser printers are good. I have an HP B&W and an
HP color laserjet, and the same universal driver is used for both
printers, for XP through Win 7. In fact, the existing XP/Vista
driver was re-certified for Win 7. There are 32 bit and 64 bit
versions of the drivers. It's too bad HP didn't have universal
drivers for the inkjets. I guess they're not considered as
business class printers. Even early 90's HP LJ4's have Win 7
driver capability through the universal driver, which recognizes
the individual capabilities of each model.
