<p>so.....has anyone encountered problems with installing printers? i have 3 printers and none of them are Vista compatible and i can't find the drivers for them online. =( </p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>what kind of printers are they</p>
<p>lexmark z25 doesn’t have a vista driver released yet. i really like this one cuz it’s so light and small.
lexmark z4720 has one…but it’s like an “all in one” printer i don’t want to lug that up to UF </p>
<p>and my epson doesn’t have a vista driver released online yet…</p>
<p>My canon i560 worked with it, just plugged it in and Windows installed the drivers itself. I also bought an HP all-in-one for when I go to UF (I don’t know the model number as it’s in storage atm, but it’s the top-of-the-line one with the auto feeder and it worked).</p>
<p>Unless your printers are really old, vista should be able to install them OR at least work with them.</p>
<p>they’re XP compatible. just no Vista drivers for them. <em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>Alot of companies are specifically not making Vista drivers, and requiring you to buy a new printer.</p>
<p>You can try a different driver in the same line of printer (Ala, if you have an HP 5527, you can potentially try using a driver for a 5500 or 5560 or something similiar) and it may work.</p>
<p>This holds true for all printer companies, not just HP. The Vista database of built in printer drivers is bigger than XP’s, so feel free to give that a try.</p>
