Printer compatability

[Sticks.]

I only need a basic printer/copier/scanner and my Canon MP470 has lasted well, but now constantly says 'printer output jam'. No paper jammed, cleaned it, switched on and off etc etc, no go.

So a new printer it is, but my equally ancient PC is on Vista. Will something like this be compatible? https://www.johnlewis.com/canon-pixma-ts3150-all-i...

ETA, or this, which says in the product description it may not, which raised the question. https://www.johnlewis.com/canon-pixma-tr7550-all-i...

Or would a solution be to update to Windows 7? If so, is it easy?

Yes, I know a new PC is overdue, but I've always got something better to do and I tried Win 10, which seems good for touch-screen but not keyboard/mouse so much.

Any thoughts on the printer for now would be appreciated. Thanks very much

I think Microsoft are due to end support for Win7 in around 6 months time.

I don't know what you've been trying to use. But I have to try really hard to spot the difference between a Win10 and Win7 system in use.

There's nothing unusual to "get" when you move to Win10 with a keyboard and mouse. (I've never had Windows and a touch screen)

Thanks for you inputs. The primary thing for now is getting a new printer sorted. Thanks.
