I too have an 8450. There are native drivers inside of Vista for the
8450. You will be able to print, but wont have the control panel as before.
Its a bare bones driver. IM guessing that's all we'll be getting from HP as
if you look on there site, they recommend getting a Vista compatible
printer.

That's it working!!! Not all the functions but at least I can print.

Thanks Woody

Feel a bit silly....

Did you try adding the printer manually? There are vista drivers for the
Photosmart 8400 series.
