I have an elderly (approx 3 years old) , but perfectly functioning HP Laserjet 1000. I understand that HP have not, and will not, issue a Win 7 driver update for this machine. I do not want to have to buy a new printer, when this one works brilliantly. My question is, if I install XP on a separate partition, and reinstall the Laserjet, will it work? And are there any implications in running two different operating systems on the same computer, please?
I have an HP Laserjet 1020 that I can't get to work with my OS (Windows 7 Beta 32-bit). I found the driver on the HP site, but it will not function with this Beta system, and Windows will not recognize the printer as a printer; it just comes up as a device. How do I solve this problem?
I already looked through the updates catalogue and found nothing that looked right.
Repeatedly, over several days, while trying to add a printer laserjet printer, when I click the Windows Update button I get the message,Windows was unable to get a list of devices from Windows Update. Please try again later. Nothing else, no error codes.
This is the second clean install of Windows 7 (I had to do the second because the first clean install failed to include the system protection tab for System Properties) and has consumed a better part of a three days!
What's the problem fix?
HP does not provide the drivers (says they are included in the Windows Vista installation which is not much help for a Windows 7 install).
Is there another source of the drivers or can they be extracted from the Vista package?
I had trouble finding how to get my HP Laserjet 4 printer to work in Windows 7.
My research indicates it would run in Vista using built in drivers, but I didn't have or use Vista. I also tried driversguide, and HP site just says "supported"
When I used one of the available earleir drivers I always get the error message:
"W2 INVALID PERS"
OK Solved it now. Lots of drivers in a package for HP laserjets. Go to the Windows Update page and download the package; here: Microsoft Update Catalog
Tryed my software no good, worked fine under XP and Vista. How did you get it to work I'm frustrated been fighting this since yesterday. HP has no windows 7 driver for 2600n also this printer isnt listed in the add printer HP list of drivers.
My win 7 machine having crashed yet again and had a trip to the repairers, I have lost the driver, which I remember spending about a month to try and get it going, as HP no longer supports this perfectly good laser. I see no reason to junk a perfectly good printer ( especially as I still have thrre new toner cartridges - not cheap!)
This printer is a HP Laserjet 2600n. Tryed my software no good, worked fine under XP and Vista.Anyone else have problem installing? How did you get it to work I'm frustrated been fighting this since yesterday. HP has no windows 7 driver for 2600n Also this printer is not listed on the add printer where you install your printer and have to pic it off thier list.
Added new Win 7 PC to home network with HP LaserJet P2015 connect to XP PC via USB.Using Win 7 Add Printer wizard, Win 7 PC sees the printer but gives missing driver error. 'Windoes cannot find a driver on the network"On HP site I cannot find a win 7 driver. Say N/A <as of Sept 2009>
i have recently used windows 7 but my HP LASERJET 1000 printer is not working, my driver is not supported, what can i do? is any new driver available now for my printer to work on WINDOWS 7?
Our office computers were just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit. We have 4 computers networked using a Work Network group. I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P2035 printer on one of the workstations but the CD that came with the printer does not have the driver to support Windows 7We just purchased the printer in March 2011, so I thought it would be compatiable with the new computers. However, I have tried everything that I can think of to find a driver that will work with Windows 7 with no luck.
