of course they are part of vista, the only problem is they still don't work
as they should. I have a PSC 1215 and it has never worked correctly since the
early vista beta tests and, quite frankly, it doesn't work now. What HP would
rather you do is buy a new printer.
Fortunately, i run windows xp on a virtual machine so i can, at least,
continue using my current printer. I contacted HP four months ago and was
'assured' that a new fully featured driver set was being released, this has
happened, nor is it likely to either. While it is possible to get the printer
to print, there is a problem with the printer head alignment which cannot be
rectified without a fully featured driver set.
As for HP Director, personally, that is a complete and utter waste of space.
in my experience, even on windows XP you had to install it three or four
times before anything worked correctly. I haven't even bothered installing it.
