'LaserJet 1320 is an older USB device and might not work with USB 3.0' And when I look in the Printers and Scanners menu it shows the LaserJet 1320 listed but underneath it says 'Driver not available'.
Thank you, thank you. With a location for the universal print driver, I was able to solve the problem. Let me restate the issue so that others who may have the same problem can also resolve their problem.
Problem: replaced XP desktop with Win 7 64 bit desktop. HP 1320 printer attached to this desktop. Win 7 desktop connected via LAN to XP Thinkpad. Thinkpad could use the HP 1320 network-connected printer when the desktop was an XP machine, and could not use it when the desktop was replaced with the Win 7 64 bit desktop. Win 7 automatically added the HP 1320 to the Win 7 machine using PCL5 Universal Print Driver.
In attempting to 'add printer' to the XP Thinkpad, I kept getting an error message that 'server doesn't have the correct print driver' and I had no luck successfully installing a print driver on the (Win 7) server.
I tried all solutions suggested in this thread, most of which involve a link to HP's print driver site. This HP site says there are no Windows 7 print drivers for the HP 1320, as it is automatically recognized by Win 7 without special drivers.
Resolution:
Follow the link supplied by 'smittychat' (above) which yields a Universal Print Driver PCL 5 set for XP and for 64 bit and 32 bit Windows 7.
I first tried to install the 32 bit Windows 7 print driver on the new Win 7 desktop. That did not work. (remember, the error message said the server's print driver is not correct) Then I used the same link and moved to the Thinkpad, installing the XP version of the Universal Print Driver PCL5 set. I got an error message, but the installation did work. I can now print with full functionality (two sided printing, etc) from both the Windows 7 desktop (printing locally) and the XP Thinkpad (printing via the LAN). Thank you 'smittychat.' This has taken me a week.
Hewlett Packard should modify its driver web site so that checking for Windows 7 drivers for the HP 1320 points to the Universal Print Driver link.
