Vista - HP Officejet 7130

I have just got an all singing all dancing new PC to replace my aging system
having waited for Vista. Everything is fine with my peripherals except for
this expensive printer which I use a great deal there is going to be no
Vista driver save the one bundled with the OS which is useless anyone got
any suggestions as to how I can ever get functionality back i.e. duplexing,
book printing and jus plain getting WYSIWYG back.

Thanks a very angry

Steve

HP don't seem to be writing many drivers for Vista.... maybe the best thing
for it is to put it on eBay and get something that is compatible. Sorry.

I think he's read that..... if you scroll down to the bottom, you'll find
Advanced Features for this printer are not going to be supported.

Good point Cari.
Thats a shame since the printer is less then 4 years old.
