Can anyone point me to a list of printers that work with Vista? I have the HP Photosmart 7350, and it definitely does not seem to work. I am ready to get a new printer anyway, and if I am buying one, I would like to get on that I know will work with Vista.

Printers that work
I got the 7350 to work and here is the solution. You must have access to the installed driver on another system either from P2P or access to the drive of the XP system in a dul boot setup. Install the Hp software on the Vista system and when it says to connect the printer let it try, but cancel when it cannot find it. This will set up the correct USB/DOT4 devices, but will uninstall the driver. Then go to add printer and click have disk. Locate the driver on the P2P or XP drive and the printer will appear in the list. Install it... Good luck

After many days of trying different ways to get my LJ3015 printer working under Vista x64 b 5384 , I now have it working! Here's what I did:
Used my original driver disk for XP 32-bit OS and installed under Vista using Compability mode for XP sp2. At the point during the install when it asked whether the USB printer is locally installed or attached to network, I moved my USB cable from the XP workstation it was connected to, over to the Vista box, and...voila!....it found the printer and successfully loaded the drivers. I then shared it and pointed it back at the CD for x86 XP driver install. After this, I simply connected to this shared printer from XP, and I now have printing on Vista...! I am very happy, as this was the last feature I could not get to work. I even got sound working on my WinTV PVR 150 card after several exasperating tries...
