If my printer and software won't work with win 7 I sure don't want it. When I had to switch to Vista my almost new printer became useless. I had to buy a new printer and CISS. If I go to Win 7 I will lose some printer functions, if it works at all. I can't keep buying and setting up new printer systems every time Bill Gates burps. There is no real reason why Microsoft and the printer companies can't keep things compatible but they make big bucks on planned obsolescence.

I use a constant ink supply on my printer, it isn't just a matter of buying another cheap printer from Walmart.

My printer was on the family network so we could print from all 4 work stations. My daughter and son in law moved to win 7 and the printer won't work for them. We had to buy another set up. It is ridiculous!

If you can keep a constant ink supply going at all you have my respect.

I continued to use the same (old!) printer after I got a new computer loaded with Win7. Just downloaded new drivers for it. It was trivial. I can’t believe Adobe doesn’t have an upgrade available for PhotoShop for Win7.

My ex uses PS professionally every day. I’ll ask him how he dealt with the change for you.
