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.
