I have original 1010/1012/1015 Install disk if anyone needs a copy.

Worked for me to hit the windows update button during the printer install to get a complete printer list (apparently Win7 does not have the full list at installation) and choosing the Laserjet 1015.

thanks for this. however, this is not a solution. many drivers will make the laserjet 1010 print in windows 7.

all of them have the same problem. you eventually get a message: unsupported personality: PCL

 

turning the machine off and on to clear the buffer allows printing to occur again, but this is not the way a printer is supposed to work

 

your driver does not work any better than the three or four others suggested

Thank you so much for the suggestion...it worked with my HP 1012.

I followed the advice posted earlier about downloading the Laserjet 1015 Windows 7 driver software and my Laserjet 1012 printer works fine now. Thank you! I do not understand why HP doesn't add this Windows 7 driver to the list of downloads available for the 1012 printer.

 

 {I installed the new printer driver software before connecting the USB printer cable to my computer. I selected the dot4 (IEEE 1284.4) as the printer port}.

Thanks it works. I installed my hp1012 as hp3055 and it works perfect . Thanks sk@play!!!!!!

Wow! Thank you so much sk2play.  You are a genius.  You wouldn't believe the time I spent trying to make my HP LaserJet 1012 work on my new HP laptop. You saved the day in less than 2 minutes!  Thanks again.  This fix worked perfectly for my new (2012) HP Pavilion g6 laptop.

I am very unhappy with the fact that HP has NOT updated their driver for the HP 1012 - when with HP do the right thing and update the driver?  I loaded the HP3055 driver and it did work, now it does not, clearly, someone is not talking to HP.  I think I will go to Gripevine and make a complaint, HP does not seem to care, with out fix, HP will loose customer loyalty, fix it!!!!

WOW!! Great info.... it works just as you noted....and saved me hours of pain and potentially a pant load of money..THANKS...

I used the trick regarding the instructions regarding the 3055 PCL5 post.  It worked beautifully.  I cant imagine how you came up with it.
