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!

No, HP are close partners with Apple. Apple do a lot of work with CUPS, HP
printers are well supported by CUPS.

"HPLIP supports 2,042 HP printer models so it's more than likely your HP
printer is supported. However you may want to first check the Supported
Printers page to verify that your HP printer is supported and/or that all
features for your printer are supported."
