Has anyone successfully gotten the HP Photosmart 7960 working in Vista. I
used the XP drivers that came with the printer and when I go to print
something it prints only text. I.E. If I go to print out a PDF file that
contains text and images, it will only print the text. Is there a driver
out there that is compatible with Vista?

Thanks,

Jeff

I solved the issue by using the driver for the PhotoSmart 7800 Series
included with Vista.

Thanks

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.
