Need a driver for an HP LaserJet 1000 series

[kvanlaan]

Can anyone tell me where I can dig up a driver for the above printer? I am running Windows 7, and I know that HP doesn't usually support OS's much beyond the current one when the printer came out, but I have heard people say that they can get it working with Windows 7 machines. I can not.

Any ideas?

That's where I got to, too. I did download it, but it doesn't recognize that there is a driver for the printer, and still doesn't do anything or progress. But my computer-fu is very weak, and I read on a couple of discussion-board links that there are ways of making it work, but it seems to be beyond me.

Is it 32 or 64 bit Windows 7?

I hear that it will not install on 64-bit unless it is Windows 7 Professional.

If it is 32 bit run the driver in XP compatibility mode on windows 7.

If it 64 bit the problem is much more complex.

I will try this and let you know - the printer's in great shape and still a workhorse, but it just doesn't want to install for me...

It's a 64-bit computer and I simply don't have the brain power to make this work, from what I can see on the topic. Grrr.
