Hi, through this website I was able to successfully setup my HP Laserjet 1000 printer on my Windows 7 (32-bit) laptop (and on another XP PC as well). I even printed test pages and everything.

Well, I found a solution posted in Driver needed: Hewlett Packard (HP) HP Laserjet 1000 Series (Windows XP Professional x64) (USB).

But you are not going to like it.

Pretty much the rundown is that Hewlett-Packard never built a 64-bit driver base for this and several other printers that are host controlled. So the solution is to either setup the printer on a 32-bit machine, use settings to print from DOS, and then share it. From the Windows Vista/Windows 7 machine connect to the share and install the HP 1100 driver provided in the printer list.

OR

Install the VirtualBox software provided in the links on that forum on your 64-bit box. Then install the printer in the 32-bit environment, and set it up as a share. Connect to the internally shared printer on the VirtualBox instance that is running on your 64-bit box.

Best of luck in this endeavor.

With some versions of Windows 7 you get to use a tool called XP Mode. Check here for details: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

You must have a processor capable of running it. 'AMD-V and Intel VT are CPU-specific hardware virtualization features that must be enabled to utilize Windows Virtual PC.'

Windows XP Mode, a single virtual copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3, is available for download free of charge from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx for PCs running Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 7 Enterprise.

You coould just connect to the XP machine using the ip address. Goto run type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and right click on the pinter and click connect. That would be the easiest way of cponnecting to your Xp printer.

For me when I has a scanner that wasn't supported, I was in luck and I was able to use a virtual machine and load an OS that had a driver for it. You may need to jump through those kind of hoops if new OSs don't support devices you want to keep using.

Good luck.

(ps: I thought from their website that there was a driver, but are right HP didn't support it.)

I also had a driver issue for an older piece of hardware (a scanner) and I decided to try the Vista driver. It worked great. I just did some quick research on the HP site and it doesn't look like the Vista driver is available. You could try a driver for another similar (supported) printer

Lots of people are asking this question but I haven't found an answer anywhere,.

i have a LaserJet 1012 that i got working with Win7 RC (64-bit) by picking a similar driver (1015, i think). i did the same in Vista. but now i'm not seeing it in the RTM version so i'm also stuck. :(

if you can find and pick the 1015 driver through Device Manager it's worth a shot.

<rant>

given that my HP 1012 printer was manufactured in 2004 and Vista came out in 2006 (with widespread beta in 2005) and HP didn't even support Vista, i've added HP to my blacklist. i fought with getting drivers from within months of buying the stupid thing and will never again buy an HP product.

that level of support is ridiculous, especially for something like a printer and ESPECIALLY since people (including myself) were able to get it to work through trickery... until now at least, suggesting it would have taken HP little work to provide a real driver.

i'm sorry, but laser printers shouldn't be forced into obsolescence after only one or two years.

I've scoured through Google searches without a result. Interesting problem.

Not having an HP LJ1000 to play with, I can only suggest that perhaps try drivers for more recent LJ's?

I've gotten lucky that my Epson printers work great with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

It seems that laserjet 1000 is not even Vista compatible. Furthermore, it has been discontinued.

There is a workaround for Vista 32-bits that will also work for Windows 7, but not for 64-bits.

AFAIK, your options are as follows:

1. You might make the printer work in XP mode and share it. I have no experience with that.
2. You might use VirtualBox or Virtual PC to construct a 32-bits XP virtual machine, install the printer and share it. This might still not work without lots of fiddling.

I think the first option is the best, if it works.
If not, you could maybe instead convert to the 32-bits version of Windows 7, for which there is a solution.

I don't know how to reply to the other answer, but for the guy who was talking about the LaserJet 1012. There is a Vista 64-bit driver that you can install in Windows 7. I have this printer and have done this. You do have to explicitly choose the driver and it will warn you about it, but it works.

From memory, the Hp LJ1000 is almost EXACTLY the same as the LJ1200. Not sure that makes a difference, but it there it is.

How To Install Hp Laserjet 1000 On Windows 7 32 Bit

I finally got it to work by saving the Vista driver from the HP site to my machine, then going into the saved file and unzipping it, and resaving it. When adding the device through Devices and Printers, you need to click Have Disk, then browse for the unzipped file. The port has to be selected as DOT4_001GenericIEEE. Even though the 1015 was selected as the printer in Devices and Printers, the icon now calls it the 1010, but it works!

I know how.You download your driver or copy the files from the old install cd. Then you go to the setup file in that and rt click it. Go to the compatability tab on the window that opens and rell it to work with your version of windows up to like xp or such. Close the window. Rt click the file again n tell it to run as administrator. Close and the doubleclick your install file.
Its called compatability mode guys n it is in win 7 ultimate and any later windows os..

Enjoy
