Hi @My64,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Since you’re using a Windows Vista computer and need a color printer without a copier, your options are quite limited, as most modern printers no longer support Vista.
 

Here are your best options.

HP OfficeJet Pro 6230

• Connectivity: USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi
• Vista Support: Works with basic drivers (USB connection recommended)
• Pros: Reliable, ink-efficient, and good print quality
• Cons: Some features may not work fully on Vista

HP DeskJet 6988 (Used or Refurbished)

• Successor to HP 6940, similar design
• Vista drivers available
• Can be found used online

HP Business Inkjet 2800 (Used)

• Vista-compatible drivers available
• High-quality color printing
• Built for business use, so it’s durable

Things to Consider:

• Avoid HP+ models, as they require newer drivers that won’t work on Vista.
• Stick to USB or Ethernet models, as Wi-Fi setup on Vista can be problematic.
• If possible, consider upgrading to a newer OS, as most modern printers no longer support Vista.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
