printing system

Hi, The cheaper colour laser printers use the Windows host based printing sytem in XP. Does Vista use the same system. I am looking at buying a new colour laser printer and don't want to repeat the waste of a good printer as I did when my Star laser with the widows GDI printing system did not migrate to from Win98 to WinXP.

Windows Vista has a new printing "engine" so to speak - it's really hard to explain, but hopefully this will help a bit.
