Microsoft Windows Vista

I just purchased an HP ENVY 6455e All-in-One Wireless Color Printer but when I went to install it on my HP laptop running 

Vista, I get a message saying it is not compatible.  Do I need a different printer or can this be fixed?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

It's not compatible with Vista as per specs:

Minimum system requirements for Windows
Windows 10, 7 (Service Pack 1): 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor, 2 GB available hard disk space, Internet connection, USB port, Internet Explorer

The printer can be onboarded with a mobile phone (Android or iPhone) via HP Smart app (download and install via Apple Play Store or Andoird Playstore).  

 

It would meant all print and scan will need to be done via the phone unless the laptop meets the minimumum specs (e.g. Win 10)

 

Here's some useful resources :

Hope that helps!
