Vista-64 Compatible? Windows ME Compatible? I've read in a couple of places that the ink cartirdges are smaller on this canon than previous models and will require replacement sooner...anyone that can speak to the truth of this?

It certainly runs on Vista 64 (my wife's laptop uses Vista 64 and it works perfectly via the wireless connection). Can't speak for windows ME though.

My own experience is that printing to the MX860 after upgrading to Win 7 64 bit from Vista Home Premium 64 bit was AOK BUT the scanner won't work with Win 7.

Can't help on that, because I have a hard time making it work period. I have Windows XP, and it worked well for awhile, then started smearing, fading, skipping and otherwise giving me trouble. It still looks beautiful as a piece of furniture, though; I'm too "thrifty" to pitch it. Tried to have it scan a page an hour ago and it refused. I don't print very often, so the ink cartridges refuse to obey the printer, being dried up. With all the time I spend trying to get it to work, I could write documents in long hand quicker. Best of luck to you, Tom! George Strella, Tulsa

Neither Canon nor HP (the vendor of my new PC) was able to get the MG4220 to work with Windows 8. I wasted ~3 hours with customer support, both emails and phone calls. The Win 8 drivers from Canon didn't work for printing, but did work for scanning! Printer works great on my MacBook, however; total setup time: 3 minutes.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

Good to know, I have an HP laser printer that it took them 2 years to make a vista driver for, and even then only for 32-bit vista. They never bothered with win 7.

Too bad Canon fails to print on the box that the Pixela software is incompatible with 64-bit Windows OSes. Think there's a solution on the Pixela website? Guess again. What you see on their website is a long list of products for which they have dropped support.I can't believe Canon chose such an unprofessional software vendor. That Transfer Utilities CD-ROM is best used as a coaster. Except that there's a hole in it. Oh well.

Don't know about vista. I have xp on my machine. You may also need an adapter on an older hp printer.

This scanner is listed as compatible on Win7 64: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p;=Canon%20CanoScan%20LiDE200%20USB%20Scanner&v;=Canon&uid;=2924B002&pf;=0π=6&s;=scanner&os;=64-bitAt the moment, it's my pick for a new scanner. I'll report back on the install experience if I go through with it.

There is a 64-bit Vista driver available for download on the Brother (they produce the Pentax scanners now) tech support site. I emailed Brother tech support and asked about whether it would work for Win 7. He assured that it would. Hope that helps.

Hello, my name is Douglas and I am with PurrfectFinds4U, an authorized retailer for the I-Pen Mouse. The I-Pen USB (hardware) is compatible with any windows or mac o/s since it is really a mouse, only with a more ergonomic shape. The driver is firmware built into the I-Pen and will install when plugged into a USB port. However, the additional CD software, which gives it the added capabilities of drawing within any screen (applications, internet, desktop, etc.), creating screen captures and saving them as a file, etc. is only compatible up to Windows XP. (The software CD will not install on a MAC.) There is a newer version of the software which is compatible with Vista, but it sold with the wireless I-Pen Pro II (retail $99.00). As an authorized dealer, we have purchased several of the I-Pen Pro II Vista compatible software CD's separately (without the I-Pen Pro II mouse) and are currently selling them on eBay in a special combo package with the I-Pen USB model, for Vista users. (We hope to have them listed on Amazon very soon.) Here is a direct link to the listing (copy and paste it into the search box if it doesn't display as a link) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem

Canon has TONS of information available - especially regarding this printer.Even if you no longer have your installation CD/s and such - they have all of that available to download or view on their site.Their information about errors, though, is quite useful. People really need to be aware of these features, and make use of them.

I think A710 IS is compatible with Windows Vista. There is no need for a driver since it is the same with Windows XP or Vista. I have ordered a laptop with Vista Home premium. And I'm just waiting to see how good it looks with my camera's photos. Try checking the Canon website for yourself. No need to do anything for ur camera and vista.

I too have Windows Vista and am anxious to find out which- if any players are compatible with it. I have about decided on a Creative Zen V or plus and found one at SecureMart.com for $81.00. I hope someone can answer this for us. Ok- I kept searching and I think I will go with YES! Based on......the Vista Compatible site they listed the Creative M something or other that has 30 and 60 Gb for $299.00. I looked at the requirements and they are exactly the same as the Zen V plus. Does this make sense to anyone but me?
