I understood your lies. They're lies, just like this post. I'm beginning
to think you don't know the difference between a lie and the truth.

I'm not worried. You are the one who lies and is completely confused. You
are trying to push some INFERIOR OS that nobody wants in the Windows 7 forum
where 99.999999% of the people LOVE their new OS. Oops. If only you had a
grasp on reality.

What in your warped mind makes you believe that I don't write software for
use in the "CLOUD"? I make a very good living using Microsoft products. In
fact, all my Microsoft software is given to me free. Whatever I want I get.

Memory problems? You and Frank dissed the shit out of a guy who was on
the Vista group saying the cloud is the future and, like Republicans,
you now say the cloud was your idea now that uncle Stevie came out and
say the "cloud is Microsoft's future".

Well good for you Tom, glad it all went so smooth for you. Not so for
everyone. Just go do a Google search related to printer problems in
Windows 7, and networking as well to see that it doesn't always go so
smoothly, nor does it in Linux or OSX. Just a fact of life. My problem
with the statement is it insinuates that only printers with Winders
installs/works properly, and I know that to be completely untrue. I do
computer work for businesses and home users, and believe me, it all
doesn't always go so smooth,(respectfully), regardless the age of the user.

The last time I went to HP looking for Windows drivers, they had 2 download

What exactly do you think was missing from the Ubuntu driver?

I want to print to my all-in-one HP across the network from Windows.

How do I do that?

HP doesn't seem to want to acknowledge this possibility.

I've beein printing with HP printers in Linux since the bad old days and
never had any trouble with them. They generally seem to be not total crap
and supportive enough of standards (even when they are just HP standards)
that support in Linux is no big deal.

Hold up Lexmark if you want to beat this dead horse.

PC -> random collection of spare parts.

The same goes for Macs once you venture outside of the Apple Store.

The simplest would be that the printer is older than the OS.

Windows always has come with some printer drivers. So it's hard
to be sure if this was a genuine improvement over every other version
of Windows or just luck.
