A friend of mine bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista pre-installed. So now his
HP printer will never work with Vista and after other problems, I've come to
the conclusion that downgrading to XP might be the best option. However I
don't think Toshiba have XP drivers for that particular model of laptop - is
this going to be a problem?

He has a non-OEM version of XP and an OEM version of XP for a slightly older
Toshiba laptop

Any suggestions?

thanks
