Whats a real pain is that many new laptops come with Vista and it would be nice if you could just plug them into the network and use shared hardware being used by existing XP machines.

Even if they were given nothing until the day Vista was released, they have now had 6 months. Printer drivers aren't the hardest thing in the world, unless the old driver was poorly written or bypassed the operating system to work. Some companies have had problems because their drivers and software were dependant on either tricking Windows XP or abusing modes within the OS to work. Vista is way more strict, and many of them are faced with having to write entirely new drivers from the ground up for free (because the users aren't paying for drivers on older printers).
