This is an HP all in one machine with scanning, printing, photo cards, etc. No fax, though. The basic driver has several aspects, including image processing, USB driver, printer driver, scanner driver, HP maintenance utilities, and a few server utilities that allow the user to initiate scanning and other activites from the printer front panel. I didn't check, but the printer may also have memory card slots which require more drivers. The 'full' drivers are merely the addition of HP's photo and document management software. So no, it really has nothing to do with Vista. You'll find the files are essentially the same size for XP as well. -Adam On 1/29/08, Apptech wrote: > A friend asked me to download Vista drivers for an HP C4180 > printer for them as the download would have taken far too > long on their connection.. > > > Basic drivers 35 MB > Full drivers 167 MB. > > Maybe some apps as well in the full package.
