HP LaserJet 2420 windows 7 install

[johnh11]

Hi,

I have been attempting to setup a HP LaserJet 2420 that is connected to a Windows Server 2003 domain controller on a couple new Windows 7 64bit machines.

This printer connects to XP and Vista machines without issue, but it will not install a Windows 7 driver. When I find the printer in the directory (add a network printer) I cannot install a driver through windows updates, as well I download all the available drivers from the HP website (when I navigate to the download folder it says no compatible driver found). I have tried the 32/64bit drivers.

I opened a service ticket with hp, 4683371, on friday but received no reply. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Did anyone ever find a fix for this?  I am having the exact same problem.

Have you solved this?  I was able to get it installed with ease on a win7 32 bit machine but the 64 bit no go. 

THis printer isn't even that old I have 7 Hp printers at my office all within 5 years old and NOT 1 supports win7 64 bit, this is rediculous! I can't belive this I will either have to buy new printers or downgrade to 32 bit.  I am very dissapointed HP should make good on these printers and update thier drivers.

Try downloading the Vista X64 driver (NOT the universal driver pack). That seemed to work for me.

You need to download the PLC6 driver (HP Universal Print Driver PCL6 v5.1.1.8283)

install on the Windows 7 machine first, and then link up to it from your XP machine as a network printer. 

It won't work the other way round, as I found out in a chat support conversation lasting more than half an hour with a lady from HP support. She was very helpful.
