Vista compatible printers / scanners …?

I have a Canon PIXMA iP4300 and Canon CanoScan 3000F … Does anyone know if a list or something Also, the list of printers / scanners are compatible with Windows Vista (will receive a Dell laptop with Vista …). Or is someone know if my stuff is compatible with it? Thank you

There are very few printers compatible with Vista (the only one I know a little old Lexmark printers) but only some are simi-compatible. All you have to do is install the printer manually. Among others, problems with disconnects and reconnects (HP Photosmart), but I think the Service Pack 1, due out in the next 4 weeks to 3 months should solve many problems.
