I need a driver for HP Deskjet 882C for Windows 7 64 Bit

Although Windows 7 does not officially support an old printer like HP deskjet 882C, is there some driver which would work for black and white printing?

OK - so I got the driver installed for my HP DeskJet 882C but whenever I try to print anything (including the printer 'Test Page') nothing prints and the printer status says "Error".  I have Windows 7 64-bit and am not sure if that makes a difference or not?

 

Thanks for any help you can offer!

-Andrea

There are a few things to check.  First, try printing a diagnostic page as follows:  turn on the printer power.  Now press and hold the power button, then while holding the power buttin press and release the other button 4 times quickly, then release the power button.   Does a test page properly print?  If so the next thing to check would be the connections - make sure the USB cable is properly secured.  Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
