Thanks so much for your help and expertise!  My old printer still works and didn't want to buy a new one just to work with Win7.  :OpenSmile:

Windows 7 Printer driver for HP Laserjet 1012

HP Recommended

I have Windows 7 and a HP 1012 lazer jet.  I read and did your sugguestion for downloading the driver for HP 1015. The printer printed the test page fine. However now when I try to print it states : Unsupported Personality : PCL.  How can I fix this problem.

 

Thanks
