Printers that WILL work in Vista?

Can anyone tell me what printers they can get working in Vista?
I need a cheap printer for work, I only need black and white printing.
If I have to buy another printer just to run on this machine I want it cheap
LOL

Thanks for any help.

Re: Printers that WILL work in Vista?

Wish my Epson R800 was that easy. Still haven't been able to find a way to
get drivers for it. Was hoping that the 32bit or 64bit drivers would work
under Vista 32 but no luck, My Epson Scanner 3170 though work like a charm.

The Canon iP4200 works in Vista Beta 2.
In my country this is a well-known and wide-spread printer model which
is not at all expensive (street price 86 EUR in Germany).

Got an email from Epson support yesterday stating that Vista support for most of their printers will be some time off still. My CX4800 all-in-one USB flatbed will not work in Vista.

....but the ink cartridges are cheaper for the iP3000 than for the iP4200!

Re: Printers that WILL work in Vista?

My Canon MP830 works beautifully. If you're going to get another one anyway
then check it out. It's an all in one colour printer, fax and scanner that
can convert scans into PDF files, etc. and can read memory cards directly.
Brilliant quality and all for just $250.

Good luck.
