HP 8750 printer & Windows 7

[IGot2P]

Running it as a wired network printer and having problems after going to
the driver that comes with Windows 7. If I try to print 8.5 by 11 (or
probably any other size) borderless the printer comes up an says that
the paper is too small. In short, if I choose Borderless photo 8.5 by 11
photo paper it shows that they size will be 11.14 by 8.73 thus the
printer thinks my normal 8.5 by 11 is too small.

If anyone has this combination of printer and OS please give it a try
and post the results.

Happy Holidays,

Don

Okay, for some unknown reason it will now print but......if you print
borderless 13" by 19" it leaves about .2" on one end and one side blank.
All in all, the Windows 7 driver sucks!

Isn't this always the way when Microsoft bring out a new OS? HP update
the "fully featured drivers" to the new OS but they are usually just
basic drivers and not fully featured at all, thus forcing one either to
buy a new printer or downgrade to the previous OS.

That's a good reason for me not upgrading XP for a good long time! I've
got an HP 8750 and I want to keep all the features

What happens if you use the Vista driver?

Hey, that may be a good idea. HP has a software patch when upgrading
Vista to Windows 7 so maybe I could load the Vista version and then the
patch and see what happens. I did a clean load of Windows 7 on a new
machine as opposed to any upgrade. I still have three systems that are
running XP so I just may go back to one of them......never did have Vista.
