Seems to me alot of us are having to go out and get new printers which may or may not work in the Windows 7 environment. Pretty sad that we have to do this and Microsoft and printer manufacturers should have ensured each printer type would work once Win 7 either 32 bit or 64 bit was installed. So, even though Win7 was pumped up to be so fantastic they left out some major details. Like your existing hardware. I wrote Microsoft and asked first if my printer would be compatible with the installation of Win 7 and was told yes. But after 3 months I still can't even turn my Lexmark Prestige Pro805 printer on, how's that? Forget trying to get support, I have tried and to no avail. In todays economy consumers shouldn't have to go out and purchase new printers that probably won't work either, someone dropped the ball on this one. I'd be ashamed to have done this to consumers. Maybe Microsoft and printer vendors should supply consumers with new printers that are compatible with Win 7.

Are you using 64-bit Windows 7 and have you managed to print?</em> HP is not being straightforward. They’ve got a driver and software on their website for my Photosmart 2575 that they say is compatible with windows7. I’ve now tried downloading and installing it 3 times. And got a fatal error message each time during the software installation process! I followed HP’s instructions letter by letter! I also used all their troubleshooting suggestions, letter by letter! I went to microsoft and found more troubleshooting instructions and tried them, letter by letter. And still could not install the software my printer needs.

In a nutshell, despite what HP says, their driver and software for my photosmart is not compatible with windows7!

I think the only solution is to buy a new printer but it will not be an HP! And I do not recommend HP to anyone else!

Response from Nick Simpson – Printerbase Ltd
Hi Polly, I’m sorry to hear that the software is not working. I personally use a HP F380 inkjet at home on Windows 7 (64-bit) but found that Windows installed the printer without having to download the drivers from HP. After seeing this post I uninstalled the printer and tried the official PhotoSmart drivers from the HP website and they work perfectly for me with my F380. I have read posts from other users saying they are able to get the PhotoSmart 2575 to printer on Windows 7 (64-bit) but not scan. Are you using 64-bit Windows 7 and have you managed to print?

Wrong. Unfortunately, it is false info for future customers who will do their homework on "compatibility" sites only to find that the the site's information can be wrong on different models of even the same manufacturer, and customers sadly will instead buy another printer that will not work any better than the one they already own.

So I'm stuck with two otherwise perfect printers that can't do photographs. Not a 'fix' in my book. Just to let you know that HP do NOT have an answer to this problem.

I have tried since acquiring my new Win7 pc in January to get either /or both of my HP printers to work properly with the ‘help’ of severa,l increasingly thick, agents from HP until I finally got one, Charles, who actually listened and was relatively intelligent to my problem.

He ‘kinda’ fixed things…a bit but the driver I now have from HP is for a much older model which wasn’t a photosmart printer so the quality is, as might be expected, not up to the usual HP standard. So I’m stuck with two otherwise perfect printers that can’t do photographs.

Not a ‘fix’ in my book.

It is not fair. I buy a new computer and now have to buy a new printer because my old does not work like it should. I scan alot in PDF. Now I can not..HP printers are not working with Windows 7. I looked online they gave me patch but it only allowed me to use the printer sometimes and with limitations. What is up with that? Make sure when you buy a printer, it has been tested with windows 7, Dont listen to the windows web site, even if it says compatible. It is not, trust me... I am XXXXX off. It is not fair.
