Indeed HP seem to be using Win7 as something of a culling-point for

that's pretty shoddy.

It's easy to work around that using a Linux box as a print sever.

Linux support from HP? You've got to be joking! Even when I worked
at Labs, using official HP RedHat (yes, not HP-UX), HP's driver
support was pitiful for anything that needed more than a basic port.

Linux is supported for my HP laser printer. For some reason they only
include Windows drivers on the supplied CDROM but you can download the
driver from the HP website. The driver works fine.
