Just bought a new laptop running Win 7 64bit.  I am trying to connect to my HP Laserjet 1012 on my desktop, which is running XP.   The download says to use Vista drivers.  I downloaded the drivers, extracted all the files to a folder, but when I point to the folder W7 doesn't find what it needs.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

Fro the 64 bit window 7 use LaserJet 3055 PCL5 and the DOT4_002 port.
