Try the steps again but use the LPT port. Let me know if that solves the issue.

Thanks
Sean

LPT was the first one I tried, with no luck.

Are you using a USB hub or a USB port on the front of the PC? If so switch the USB to a port that is on the rear of the computer.

where can i find a printer driver for hp laserjet 1012 that is compatible with windows 7?

HP Recommended

SeanS workaround was PERFECT except that the method of ading a printer in the latest versions of Windows 7 is not the same.  Nevertheless, I am indebted to him and SHOCKED and disapointed that HP does not provide a similar solution for the many people who may have an HP Laserjet 1012 they'd like to use with Windows 7!

 

Thanks again Sean!

No problem and glad you got it working. If you have any other issues dont hesitate to ask.

 

Take Care,

Sean

The answer you need is simple:  USE DRIVERS ASSIGNED TO VISTA'S VERSION OF WINDOWS. THEY WORK PERFECTLY! THEY DID FOR ME! :OpenSmile:
