Photosmart 7660 Print Driver

I just purchased a new laptop today with Windows 7 64bit operating system and found that there is no driver for this printer for Windows 7 and I have to use an alternate driver which does allow me to print but limits options.  Does anybody know if there is a way to find out if HP will be providing a driver for this printer at a later date?

Re: Photosmart 7660 Print Driver

The alternate driver for the Photosmart 7660 would be a good match, it supports all the printing functions of the 7660.

 

I would not expect HP would release a driver specifically for the Photosmart 7660.  

 

Are there some features you are missing from the alternative drivers?

Re: Photosmart 7660 Print Driver

The alternate driver that HP recommends is the HP Deskjet 5600 series.  This driver doesn't allow me to choose or print in black ink only and the bottom margin does not extend as far as the 7600.  I also cannot print documents in draft.  The most important issue that I need to resolve is being able to have as small a margin is possible.
