As is usual using a printer developed during a previous Windows version, the driver for my 2230 has fewer features in Vista than under XP. For example, I can't find any control over draft/normal/quality mode, print in grayscale, and many paper types are not listed. Can't even get the Settings Confirmation dialog (Same thing happened with my DJ 1120 going from Win98 to XP, so I keep a Win98 computer around.)
Anyone know if the new UPD in fact supports the 2230, and if so, does it give any more feature control compared the Vista provided driver?

And, to make it more interesting, the Vista laptop won't even print to the 2230 that is attached to an XP machine. Print jobs show up in the Vista machine's spooler, and briefly show up in the spooler on the host machine, but immediately disappear without printing.
Have tried many times to remove, readd printer following many suggestions found on the 'net, to no avail.
Haven't had time to see if it prints when directly connected, it such a bear to get to the cables.
just wanted to put in that I am having the same situation with a Netgear print server ps101 v1? that prints a test page to the 2230 via an internet browser, but Vista home premium will not connect after trying many types of tcp/ip, port settings (local, tcp/ip, etc, etc.). talk about knocking a head against the wall. Xp laptop still sees it fine on the home network also. netgear setup also used, but no luck. A real lack of info on this. Makes one want to start using Linux based systems if it is going to be a battle w/ Microsoft anyway.
