So, you might still have an old Windows XP computer laying around. And then you decided to buy a new Windows 7 computer. But, you just can’t let go of your Windows XP computer. I understand, Windows XP is near and dear to my heart too.
What printer will print to both your Windows XP and your new Windows 7 computer? There’s no sense buying two printers. Well, there are a lot of printers that are compatible for Windows 7 and XP. It’s not like Windows Vista support where the Vista-compatible printer is not compatible with Windows XP support. All Windows 7-compatible printers are able to be used by Windows XP computers.
Which printer is the best one to use for Windows 7 and XP computers? I’m a big fan of the HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw. At $180, it does it all.
Here are the notable printer specs:
- Printer, scanner, copier, and fax in color
- Black and white speed up to 17 pages per minute
- Color speed up to 4 pages per minute
- Laser quality at 600 x 600 dpi
- 150-sheet paper tray
- Letter, legal, executive, and photo paper compatibility
- Wireless and network built-in capability
- Compatible for all PCs and Macs
I’m amazed at how much the price for laser printers have dropped. There are inkjet printers that are more expensive than the current recommended model. If you have a small computer office or home network, this printer will definitely get the job done. The cool factor with this model is it will soon be able to use the ePrint capability, allowing iPads to print to it.
