Sorry,
Spezi is correct ... many on the HP forums are not amused either.
We are sorry to inform you that there will be no Windows Vista support available for your HP product. Therefore your product will not work with Windows Vista.
The majority of HP products not supported in Windows Vista are beyond seven years old.
If you are using the Windows Vista operating system on your computer, please consider upgrading to a newer HP product that is supported on Windows Vista.
There has, however, been some success in getting Vista to use the Deskjet 970 driver.
HP are very inconsistent with their driver support for Vista ... there is no Vista support for the Photosmart 1218 either, but, they do supply drivers for the LaserJet 2100M, which is, three years older.
