    New printer

    I'm going to get a refurb w Win 7, and keep one desktop w XP off the internet. Will a new printer compat w Win 7 also be backward compat with the Win XP puter?

    Win7 Ult/ 3.40 GHZ Intel Core i5-3570K /ASRock mobo Z77 Pro4 /SSD/ EUFI MS 3400 MHZ/8 GB RAM; Win 7 Ult/Verizon FIOS wired network
    Waterfox Classic/Chrome / Firefox 115esr

    No guarantees. They would use different drivers.

    What type of printer were you thinking of getting (inkjet or laser, and brand)? Personally, I would go with a brand that still has XP drivers. Brother should have something that would work.

    Probably inkjet, what I always get, none planned yet till I received my replies here. I'll check online first.
