[ Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on this computer. The pre-check I did told me that my printer was compatible. However, after Win 7 installation, my printer didn’t work. Why not? Because Hewlitt Packard decided not to support numerous of it printers with drivers for Windows 7. So, my HP Laserjet 1012 didn’t work.
I went on-line and found a work-around that isn’t perfect, but will allow me to print. That’s the last HP will see of my money. ]
Did you try installing the windows driver or using the “Get more Drivers” button, I have installed the driver in windows 7 for an HP Laser Jet 4 thia way and that printer is “Ancient”. I was using the local network and a Jet Direct card to connect to it, by the way.
Yes, I did.
The forum that I found recommended a driver for a different HP, told me to change to a different port, and said that when the printer started printing garbage it needed to be turned off and back on to delete buffer contents. Worked like a charm.
I print very little. That’s why I’m cranky about buying anything new when this one has received such light use.
