Hello Everyone!
I have another question!I was wondering if there was an alternative to the 2575 All in one HP Software. I really don't like using paint, and prefer my HP software, but...

It doesn't allow me to scan using it in Home Premium or Basic, and says I should by the Business edition. Is there another way to find smilar software without spending S200. to $300. upgrade the software to MS?

Thanks in advance,

Heather

After looking things over at HPs web site, my best recommendation to you is to buy a different printer.

It is pretty lame to limit the function of the printer like this.

I did not check but I suspect that this is an older all-in-one and Vista support was an add in. As such, they often trade functions for the cost of writing the new driver.

Your best option is a new printer with full Vista support.

Or, you could get a stand alone scanner that works properly with Vista.
