HP Photosmart 1215 and Vista

I bought Lisa a new laptop a couple of months ago and the only OS option was Vista. I can't get her onto the Linux bandwagon unfortunately. Yesterday she was trying to print something only to find out that I hadn't set up her printer on the new laptop.

We have an HP Photosmart 1215 which sadly doesn't have (and apparently never will have) Vista drivers. I tried the XP driver only to find that it didn't quite work. Luckily, I found this post saying that the drivers for the 7200 should work. I tried them and they did. Yay, internet!

I might point out that I had no problem getting the printer working with Linux–you know, the hard to use operating system. Gee, I don't know why people are hating Vista so darn much.
