Wrong, wrong, wrong. Don't blame Microsoft -- they didn't build the
printer, HP did. And it is HP who refuses to support perfectly good
printers in new OS releases -- even though they will be happy to continue
to sell you absurdly overpriced ink for that printer. Take for example
the 2000c business printer -- many of which are still running just fine
-- but not with supported XP drivers, let alone with vista or 7 drivers
[you could kind of get by in XP sp2, but not in sp3].

HP would much rather you buy a new printer with even more expensive ink.

I suggest you let this guide your future hardware purchase decisions.
