HP Officejet Pro 8500 - Happy with Mac, Linux and Windows XP

,----[ Quote ]
| The software loaded easily on the Mac and I was able to get the Linux
| machines on speaking terms with the printer quickly. With a bit of
| trepidation, I approached the Windows XP machine.  I looked at it, it looked
| at me.  Neither of us was looking forward to an ordeal loading the HP
| software.
|
| Although I had loads of trouble with HPâs software for the other printers,
| Loading the Officejet Pro 8500 software took only about 20 minutes. Only one
| problem was experienced with the procedure. The registration software
| wouldnât work with Firefox, my primary Browser on all of my systems. It
| insisted that I use Internet Explorer 7. Since that software isnât available
| on all of the other systems in use here, it has not been loaded on any of the
| systems.
