Are you not able to download new drivers for it?

Unfortunately there are quite a few bits of HP kit that are not supported under Win 7 at all.  I have tons of HP printers and its seems that when we switch to Win 7 i will need to get noew printers.

Jim - Personally I wouldnt buy IT kit from Lidle but I know people who have and it seems to be fine..
However HP do a nice little cheap all in one for 34 quid

Have you tried the Vista drivers? Apparently lots of them work on Win 7 even though they don't claim to.
