I have a new computer that came loaded with Vista. I have a notebook with XP.
I have been using my HP all-in-one with my notebook just fine. I tried
loading the software on my new computer (that has Vista) and i could not get
the software to load. I was able to set up the printer using "add hardware"
and was able to print, but the software (on a CD) lets me do a lot more than
just print. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I saw the info on printing
with a network and will bookmark it for use when I set up my network. Thanks
again.

Check the website for the all-in-one to see if the software is available for
Vista. If not contact their customer or tech support and request it. It
will probably be months before a lot of the hardware and supporting software
will be Vista compatible. Was the same with XP when it first came out.

I went to the HP site, and there is no updates as of yet.
Hope my all-in-one doesn't become obsolete before I can use it's functions.
Thanks for the input.

You don't need the HP software to use it. I have one of the ones that has
wireless connectivity, and I connect to it from both my big XP machine
and my laptop running Vista without a problem. Vista has a scanning
app, a fax app I believe, and printing, of course. There are instructions
on the HP web site. If you can't find them, just send in a support email
request and they will get back to you with instructions on how to set it
up. This is what I had to do, because I couldn't find the instructions on
my own. Note that they said that eventually they will update there apps
for Vista, but I wouldn't hold my breath. One of the XP updates broke
them on my machine.

Same problem here. Contacted HP for support and they
said that if the printer is out of warranty it would cost me $65 for the technical support I'll need. Sounds like a scam!!

Perhaps not relevant. But I just bought an OfficeJet 6210 All In One on the
cheap ($99). It prints and scans perfectly in Vista with no specaial
drivers. When I have it on an XP computer on the LAN, Vista can easilty find
and print to it.

I don't know what your issue was but out of warranty tech support is ALWAYS
expensive. And since you can get an all-in-one for a hair more than the
phone call, why bother?

My all-in-one does not have wireless connectivity. I can get Vista to print
using the drivers in Vista, but when the HP software CD loaded onto the
notebook with XP, it has some really nice applications besides just printing.
That is what I am trying to access but from what everyone is saying here, I
will just use it as a printer with Vista and use the other apps from the
notebook. When it dies, I won't buy HP again I guess.

Thanks to all that answered my call for help!
