Paul, whatever you decide, make sure of two things. That the printer is Windows 7 compatible (there will be a symbol on the box regarding this), and that 64 bit drivers are available. If in doubt, don't rush. Write down the printer model number and call HP service. I'm sure that there's a toll free number on the package. I have found a Customer Care number. It's 800-474-6836, my manual states they're open 24/7. There are a lot of printer (not working) threads on here already, we welcome all requests, but it would be so much better if some of them posted like you, wanting to know what works. Some of the threads are different, they are trying to run a printer that was manufactured during the Clinton administration. Times are tough, I know, but if you can afford a new computer or retail version of Windows 7, you should be able to come up with another $50 to $60 for a basic printer that works with Windows 7, simply by plugging it in the USB port (after it's prepared).
