printer for 64 bit win 7

[drawboy]

I have just got win7 64 bit on my new lappy and it's a bitch for not recognising anything. I was going to get a new printer so thats not a problem but anyone know an all-in-one printer that will just plug and play on the 64 bit operating system. I dont want to be downloading drivers that never work I just want to unpack it plug it in and print. Any help greatly appreciated.

Most of these will work with w7 x64, its usually just the older all in ones that wont work. Anything current should do the job,
This Epson would be my choice though, pretty quick little bugger for photos etc. and has 64bit w7 drivers.

I have an HP Officejet 8500 "attached" via wireless network to mine. Works well, colour and B/w printing, double sided printing, fax, scan and photocopy. £150.

I run Windows 7 64 bit and use one of these:

HP Photosmart c309g. Shop around and you might get it for £100 or so.

Many All in ones will sort of work out of the box with Windows 7 64 bit.

By that I mean that the printer part will often work straight away, The problem comes with the scanning part.

You can use Windows Fax & scan (part of Windows 7) but this is limiting

If you want it to work fully with the manufacturers software package, you will have to download the drivers from the manufacturers website.

In this respect HP are rubbish as typically a driver download can be 350Mb compare this to Canon at 25mb


just get yer backside in gear, go to the website, hit Support, drivers, Put in your model number and operating system and just download it

I wish it was simples however I have never had a driver update work yet. I don't know if it's me not knowing how to install the drivers properly or what but I can't seem to get them to work.

You are lucky you don't have XP64. There is next to no software or hardware compatible with XP64.
