I have Vista 64.
 
Need a new printer for $100 or less. I don't print any photos, just regular b/w and color text documents.
 
Any suggestions? What do you guys have? Which printers are known to work well with Vista 64?
 
Thanks.

Im sure anyone of these will work. http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=38&name=Printer-Inkjet-Printers.

Even though none say vista 64. But they do say vista certified.

But I could be wrong
Intel E6750
2gbs 800mhz Ram
8800 gt oc 660/1900
320gb hd + 500gb
Dual boot - Ubuntu 8.04, Xfce, Compis-fusion & Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I am using an HP D2430 that I picked up from walmart for $35.  My printing needs were the same as David's and I bought it because it was the cheapest printer I saw on the shelf that day.  There is no problem using it with Vista64.

It's $25.99 at Newegg right now. 

The printer comes WITHOUT a black ink cartridge which you don't technically need for printing.   You can purchase and use one if you think the color ink is worth conserving in a printer that cheap.

I have this printer. It's great all-around - photos (excellent) and text.

Vista 64 drivers are available on Canon's website. Mine works perfect!

What about Printer cards?

I dont even have a card hooked up yet and want to buy one, including a new printer.

I use Vista 64 also.

Any recommendations?
