in office we use hp laserjet 1010 printer, i tried to install the driver and add printer but issue is driver installed, and show the printer , but actual printer shows in unknown device, in short printer not installed... i tried many times.... some time accidently install first time, but mostly time it is not install easily, i use driver OS vista32bit, kindly guide me ....
I use Windows 7 and i recently tested a machine like on my laptop and had no problem with the driver.Try to uninstall driver and reset computer so that the printer installs automatic;y through found new hardware and try again.Hope this will solve your problem.
when you told me doing uninstall and again install it, then by chance i try to install Universal driver pcl 5, and secondly i used DOT 4 port, doing this method printer driver easily installed and running smoothly on network/ sharing mode too...
Problem solved... with happy ending....
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Even the model number is too hard! If it is critical to getting information, why isn't it written on the front. This HP Envy laptop has no such information. I am not going to pull the machine apart to look for this. All I want to do is run my HP non-wireless printer with my new laptop
Regrettably, some of us struggle with all this stuff. I want HP to send me a step-by-step guide to having their laptop work with the printer I have. I shouldn't have to have the skills of an IT grad to work this stuff out.
In Win10 -> add new printer -> add it manually .... old printer ... not on the list -> select connected port- Dot4_001 -> find HP LaserJet 1015 on the nenu list -> if thers is no 1015 then click "Windows Update" which under the right side of the menu list and waiting for its ending...... then go back finding again. It should be fine.
If it's not then click the "install from disk" which seats beside the "Windows Update" and point it to the folder where you download the 1015's driver. Don't to unzip the driverfirst which you downloaded.
Am I the only person that thinks that multinational corporations should not be relying on community forums to fix their problems. There is NO REASON why two HP products should not work with each other.
So I try to find to use the HP Universal Print Driver PCl5 (not PCL6 it won't work) and there's no such one on 1010's Win7 x64 drivers. Then i went to HP P2055's Win7 x64 driver and fount it, download and execute and assign a folder to extract to.
HP LaserJet 1010 is more than 10 years aged it's simple and effective and long life to use but i don't think HP has the responsibility for all new Windows system for it. If you think they should be then maybe one day HP will cut down the life expectancy of every new HP printers and shorten them to less than 5 years. Then there's nothing to worry about.
