compatible printers

Good Morning all, Does anyone know which printers are compatible with Vista? I have a Lexmard 2300 all-in-one that Vista recognizes as a scanner and fax, but wont recognize as a printer. Any sugestions on a driver or printers that work with Vista? Thanks, John Smith

Did the Lexmark website list any beta drivers for Vista for your printer?

They said they had no plans for the X2330 series print drivers for Visat.

The Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer is not a Lexmark, but it does work as designed in Vista, including the software provided on CD with the printer. In addition, it is very cheap (but not "cheep", as in poorly-designed-and-built.). In fact, it is very well built and designed. It does use ink fairly fast, but cartridges are fairly cheap, when compared with other printers.
I haven't tried printing directly on a CD or DVD yet, but I'm sure it will work as designed, since the software installed without complaint. It also prints pretty fast when compared with Lexmark printers (My last printer was a Lexmark. I still have it sitting in a storage room somewhere, and it still works, but not as well as my new Epson.)

I just bought a new HP Deskjet 6980. When installing Vista the printer was recognized and installed with the correct drivers. It works great. If you are looking for a new printer that will run with Vista I would highly recommend it. "Donald McDaniel" wrote in message

I got my Lexmark 1150 all in one to work on a different PC on my network. I can print from here but have to go to the other room to get the sheets off the printer. Its not ideal but it works.

My Canon i560 works on Vista without a disc or anything. I plugged it into my computer's USB port and Vista picked it right up without any help at all and it was ready to go in seconds. "rOy cOOrne" wrote in message

Is going to depend on which version you are running vista 86 or vista 64. You might try the vista.hardware group I had no problems with 86 with an old Lexmark, Canon and Brother. Nothing worked on 64

Good Morning all. Question, does anyone know which prionters are compatible with Vista? Im running a Lexmark 2300 and Vista sees it as a fax and scanner, but not a printer. Does anyone know of a driver or work-around for this? Or printers that do work with Vista? Thanks, John Smith

I just bought a Brother MFC 640CW today, and the printer function was able to be installed, but only after using the Add a printer wizard and choosing the usb version of the driver for it. I am running this multi-function through my wireless, so I am surprised the USB driver worked at all. So, if a printer is all you need, I can tell you that this model works for printing. It seems that most printer drivers are set up to recognize the operating system, and do not recognize vista yet - my Lexmark x-83 being one of those (hence the purchase of the Brother today) Hope this helps.
