Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

You need to install the drivers on EVERY machine that will access the printer. Yes, the drivers come with the printer, and updates are free. I just downloaded and installed the Windows 7 driver updates for my HP C7280. HP now has drivers for that machine for XP, Vista (32 & 64), and Windows 7 (32 & 64), as well as older Windows I believe. Drivers shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you John,
I fully understand now, and thanks for your patience. In one week I'll have a new toy, ah, printer. Have a great day!

John,
Be warned, at 57 my skull has gotten thick, but I'm committed and I will learn.
