hl1s,

Here is the product page that you are looking for:

Laserjet 1005

There is also an m1005 and a p1005 model, so I included those links, just in case you needed them.

how to connect this hp laserjet 1005 series printer to windows 8?

[AuntieEm]

Unfortunately, the Laserjet 1005 is not supported in windows 8. Please refer to these documents for what is and is not supported:

Btw, this page shows that P1005 has Full solution and Host-based Plug and Play Basic driver, but when you click those links you still see the message that "Product Supported Soon in Windows 8".

The same bug is valid for P1006, P1007, P1008 etc. Is there any way to fix this bug somehow?

This worked for me in windows 7 professional 32bit SP1. Fresh install. I like my printer, I have used it for many years under both linux and windows and I had no intention of throwing it away. I am pleased I have found a way to make it work, I would have surely never bought HP again otherwise.

How to make a HP LaserJet 1005 series work in windows 7 32bit

1. download the printer driver HP LaserJet 1005 Host Based Driver v 5.51.2103.0 released 6 Oct 2003

Right now it can be found here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?cc=us&prodNameId=214539&prodSerie...

It is named  lj1005hostbased-en.exe - md5sum 428274e8060e830aeaf1acf06f10a398

2. Extract the printer driver to a folder. (It is a winzip self-extract executable)

3. Go to the printers page and "Add a new printer". It will ask you to select a port, but not an USB because USB devices are automatically detected. Scroll down and select "Virtual USB port" (not sure about the naming but you'll find it)

4. In the installation of this virtual-usb connected printer you can say "I have the driver". Click on the button, point the printer dialog to the driver folder and select the .INF file in the directory (there are two, I used the first one). You will successfully install a second printer named "HP Laserjet 1005 series"

5. Now right click the real printer, which has the same name but has the warning triangle because it needs "troubleshooting" - it has no associated driver. Select Troubleshoot. It will look for drivers. Skip looking online it is just a waste of time. NOW IT WILL FIND THE DRIVER YOU INSTALLED FOR THE VIRTUAL PRINTER. CLick OK.

6. The danger triangle disappears, the virtual-usb printer with the same name disappears and you are lef with a printer named HP Laserjet 1005 series which... works!

Cheers.

hi

[Roitner]

Dear HP employee,

HP laserjet 1005 series printer works on all Windows 32-bit versions - it means Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and also Windows 10 (Windows Technical Preview).

It works with the simple Windows XP driver from Driver CD.

But you are right - the HP Laserjet 1005 does not work on any of the Windows 64-bit versions.

Best regards - Roitner
