Printer from XP to Vista "Jay Cee" <SpamJaySpamCeeSpamx[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/9/2007 1:39:04 AM I have 2002 PC HomeXP. Will buy new PC Vista end of year. But I need a new HP all-in-one C-7180 printer right now (present old one has u/s scanner). Question is : if I install the new printer now with XP PC could this cause any future annoyances (bugs) to it when I reinstall it with the new Vista PC later? Thanks for inputs.

Re: Printer from XP to Vista "David B." <brooks.dj[ at ]nospam.hotmail.com> 7/9/2007 8:22:46 PM How could installing the printer on the XP machine, then installing it on your new Vista box cause a problem? Installing the printer does not modify the printer in any way, so it will have no effect on the Vista install, whether it is the first PC it's installed on or the 40th. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm _________________________________________________________________________________ "Jay Cee" <SpamJaySpamCeeSpamx[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:eHjExncwHHA.4612[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Printer from XP to Vista "Jay Cee" <SpamJaySpamCeeSpamx[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/10/2007 2:22:52 AM OK! OK! Thanks! That's all I wanted to know! I'm no expert! It's just that I know that most digital copiers manufactured in the past five years have disk drives, the same kind of data storage mechanism found in computers, to reproduce documents and my printer is an all-in-one, ie copier/printer/scanner and I wondered if its hardware could somewhat "remember" a previous different O/S install and do bugs. Like I said, I am no IT expert. That's why I use channels like this one when I have a question. These microsoft public support groups are set up for queries from non-pro, aren't they?.
