Make sure you printer is ON. Now go through the add printer rountine from the device and printers button. Allow it to discover the printer and when found it will ask for drivers and since none are available from HP, allow it to discover them on the www. In doing so, it wull call MS to try the "native drivers", a more generic install, though it could be 100% capable. In other words, the drivers works but maybe limited in NOT providing all the bells and whistles the printer had before. Yeap, that's the way it goes when new OS is used. If none of this works or fails period or you don't like the results, then yes the final real fix is to buy a win7 ready printer.
