My dad recently went out and bought a new printer, an HP Officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. It works very well with all my other computers. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Windows 7, which my laptop is currently running. I put in the installation CD into the CD Drive, and run it, but once I do, I get the picture below:



How would I fix this?

Note: I really DON'T want to get Windows XP mode, unless it's my last and only option to solve the problem.

uh i dont know how to solve that in an easy way but if i were you, i would get VMware and instal XP on a VM. I have it installed now and its good for testing, multiple os. This way u keep ur Win7 and use XP only when u need it.

Other: Look for modified drivers for win7?

Why don't you not install the drivers, make the Printer a network printer and connect it to the modem via Ethernet or using another XP/Vista computer...
Then on your Windows 7 Laptop, just print and select the networked HP printer...

Currently, I'm installing the basic drivers (print and scan drivers) but how would I make the printer a network printer?

Or you could run the installer under a compatibility mode, it is just saying it doesn't support NT 6.1 it would work fine if you installed it under compatibility mode for Vista,XP, or 2000.
