Richard may be correct;
I have had an ongoing issue about this with HP-from 1st line techs
through their bosses;to their bosses;bosses.
And bottom line from HP;(they're consistent at least) and I paraphrase this;
" We will have Vista compatable drivers for our products;when Vista
releases. We do not support beta.).
So I gave my HP printer to a family member;and bought an Epson;that has
worked since Beta 2 5384.
Try as much as you like; and more power to you if you get a driver;but since
RTM isn't that far off; I'de hold tight; and wait for HP Vista compatable
drivers.
