Mr Administrator,
May I ?
I too have a very nice HP Laserjet printer that neither HP or MS provides drivers for.
In XP there are bonafide HP drivers and all's OK, but in Win-7, I have to use "Generic-----Text Only" as my driver.
Sounds terrible, but hey,,,,,,it works. There are many work-arounds for things, if you look hard enough.
Actually Win-7 is pretty intuitive in finding compatible drivers for things like old video cards, printers, modems, etc.
It found my Epson Workforce 500 printer and my ZOOM external USB phone modem and both work just fine without
me ever having to install the drivers for them. It even came up with compatible drivers for my WinFast video card.
But it's the GUI that I take exception to.
Cheers Mate!
