Hi,
I got so frustrated with HP; I gave my printer to my brother.
Officially; from HP themselves; they will not support drivers for Vista
until Vista is released for sale.
So; I bought an Epson;that is compatible.
But;seeing as Vista is supposed to be released soon;maybe just hold tight
till then.

I have the same printer, I use the driver for the HP 7800 which is in Vista
RC2 and this works, except that it does not show the ink cartridge levels.
