Seems that HP is way behind the curve again. It took them almost 4 months to write Vista drivers for the Color LaserJet 2600N (and the stickers on the box were touting "Made for Vista or some rubbish while the drivers were not available).

So here we are on the Windows 7 launch date and what does HP have to say?

Print drivers for your product will be available for download from HP when Windows 7 is launched worldwide.

I wouldn't count them out yet.
They have had their laptop drivers out for a few days now. Im sure they just haven't updated their site yet with the rest of them.

With Win7 being so close to Vista you can use the vista driver for your printer.

I understand that and it's what I am doing.

Doing the same thing with my laptop.
