What does windows vista ready mean in reference to compatability on a printer? -

I need a new printer, want an HP all in one, some spec are saying vista ready, others say vista compatible, others say vista certified - which do I need?! What is the difference?

It means that the softwear you will have to install, in order for your computer to recognise the printer is compatible with vista. Vista will recognise the drivers.

I would guess that they all mean the same thing. i.e they work with Windows Vista.

hi they are all the the same it just means that they work with Windows Vista. hope this helps
