Product: HP LaserJet 1012 Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Greetings to the Online HP Community.

I am hoping someone can assist me. I have an elderly printer, an HP LaserJet 1012. I used to be able to download the printer driver for the HP LaserJet 3050 PCLS and my old 1012 would just keep chugging along. My desktop computer is a DVD Certified Data, with 16.0 GB or RAM, a 64-bit operating system and I have Windows 10 Professional on it. Recently, since early summer (probably since the last update) - I cannot find the HP LaserJet 3050 PCLS  in the selected list of drivers to download. Can anyone let me know if the 1012 printer will run on any other driver? Or am I finally at a point where I need to buy a new printer?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me. Regards to all, Sam3191

Try to track down a copy of the PCL5 UPD driver, that might be the easiest thing to find.
