Ken,
I'm an IT Professional of 20 years and have done everything right by the
manual but can't get Vista to recognize my printer, so I would venture to say
that thousands or millions of people are also experiencing problems. Remember
the little bug that killed USBs when upgrading from XP to XP professional?
I'm only glad that Microsoft acknowledges it's bugs more esily than you do!
