Hp Laserjet 1150 Driver Windows 7 32-bit

[Percival Blanco]

Iam using RTM version of Windows 7. Could you please explain how to get hp laserjet 1000 driver for windows 7 ? I tried through the list of drivers in windows 7 and also through windows update. No use so far. Is there any universal driver I can use with windows 7 for my printer laserjet 1000? Yourresponse is highly appreciated.

Hmm... I am not quite sure where I found the Laserjet 1000 driver, it shows up on my 32 bit Win 7 system that was updated from Vista but does not show up on my 64 bit system and I do not see it on HP's site for WIndows 7 or Vista. The version I have 5.51.926.0 with a copyright date of 2002. It may have been an XP driver, the version number matches the XP driver available for download here. If you are using a 32 bit version of Windows 7 it would be worth trying the XP version.

Sorry, I do not actaully have a LJ 1000 and am not familar with other drivers that might be compatible. Someone else here may have an idea, or you might try asking in the Laserjet section of the HP Business Forum. I did a cursory search and turned up a lot of questions but no solutions. The Laserjet 1000 is a host based pritner so it is not compatible with PCL drivers that most Laserjets use. The closest thing to a solution was a suggestion to print to PDF and then have the LJ 1000 connected to another (non-64 bit OS) computer, see here for details. It is the post by Itig99.

I am about to run into the same problem with my HP Laserjet 1005 (not P1005, just plain 1005). It was fairly expensive back in the day and works perfectly fine under XP32, so it's really disappointing to see that there is obviously no chance at all to run it on any 64Bit windows, not even XP64. My only (probably vein) hope is that the release version of Win 7 64 secretly includes at least some sort of generic driver for this thing.

I have not as yet used Windows 7 but intend to do so soon, and I don't want to loose my ability to use the Laserjet 1000. Has anyone actually run the LJ 1000 with Windows 7? It would appear so from one of the above messages, but it is really not that clear to me.

Also, I note that the Laserjet 1150 is listed as a compatable printer with Windows 7 with a driver available from HP. Since the LJ 1000 and LJ 1150 appear to be very similar machines, is there anyway to use the 1150 driver with the 1000?

An update on my own post..... I have installed Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit as an update and lo and behold, my Laserjet 1000 works great!! Soooo, it would appear that if one has been running Vista and the HP Laserjet 1000 printer without any problems, that it should run OK on Windows 7 as well. I did not do anything special, just the normal update install of Win 7.

I have been searching the web site to try to find a way to make by trusted old Laserjet 1000 speak to Windows 7 on my new computer and came across this community. I guess most of you are in the USA but this issue possibly goes world wide.

Let me provide a more critical perspective of HP and Microsoft. We all have a perfectly good printer.We are all seeking to use the most modern OS system from the planet's biggest software supplier. Yet we cannot get our printers to work without a specialised discussion board that explains about using RTM ? 32bit ?? or 64 bit ??? versions of ther software. This is simply absurd. While both HP and Microsoft go on and on about their environmental credentials they fail to be able to get together and allow us to use a perfectly good printer with modern software.

So what I am supposed to do - chuck away my LJ1000 and buy something else? So much for saving the planet!!!! Why doesn't HP just create the necessary driver to make the thing work and put it on their web-site to download? Why doesn't Microsoft have something more useful than a link to the HP website which is a complete waste of time. Why did the HP representative at my local store tell me that Windows 7 would be compatible with my HP printer?

On W7 I have the option of installing additional printer drivers for other system architectures (Itanium and x86). I've downloaded the most current 32-bit drivers for the printer, but every time I direct the install dialog to the folder containing the drivers, I get the following error message:

When I installed Windows 7 it automatically installed the MP600 driver but it called it "Canon Inkjet MP600 Printer". NOTE Inkjet. When you unzip the Canon driver and look in its driver folder the printer inf file is called MP600PR.inf. Edit this file with Notepad and you will find:

Canon just calls the printer "Canon MP600 Printer". Since the names are not exactly the same windows does not think that the drivers are for the correct printer. Just edit the inf file to "correct" the name and it installs without a problem.

The printer goes by the name 'HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5' both in Windows 7 and on HP's driver support website. However, the driver that HP offers is for 'HP LaserJet 1200 Series 5e'. According to HP documentation, 5 and 5e have the same functionality.

Navigate to and download the 'HP Laserjet 1200/1220 PCL 5e Driver'. DO NOT use the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5. For some reason, the INFs completely skip the 1200 series, going from 1150 to 1300.

Editing driver inf files with the correct and exact name of the printer did not work for me. Instead I succeeded with a work-around by installing the printer directly to the client XP computer as a local computer. Then I created a new local (not network) port on the client that pointed to the Win 7 server computer. Both client XP 32 bit computers can now print to the printers installed on the Win 7 64 bit server computer.

Canon Support site has excellent instructions on printer sharing and setting up a local printer port.Ask: How do I share the printer between Windows XP and Windows Vista computers?The solution works for Windows XP and Windows 7 comptuers.

I think you should be able to extract the file that you've downloaded (using 7-zip or winzip) then point windows 7 at the folder that contains the extracted files when you're doing the install additional drivers wizard.

Mannually try to install print drivers (for any printer, locally) then where it says drivers, click update windows drivers, close/ cancel printer install, then try and connect to your network printer on the 64 bit OS from the 32 and it should then work

I found the x64 version of the driver (for HP) and replaced the windows-driver with the one I installed from HP (there's a place to change the driver for an already-installed printer on windows7). I then was able to add the x86 version of the driver as they had the same names. The driver I used was a 'universal PCL 5' diver rather than the one specific to my printer (HP CP 1510), and it seems to work fine.

After switching to a mac, I'm blown away as how complex things like installing drivers on windows is simplified. Adding a printer takes like 2 clicks, and it figures out where I am (laptop) and automatically prints on the appropriate printer. It just works.

Thanks for the great information! Same problem with Brother MFC-7340. Windows 7 installed it as "Brother MFC-7340", shown under General tab of "printer properties", whereas the brpr7340.inf for x86 was "Brother MFC-7340 Printer" for [MFC_PRT] and MFC_PRT.NTx86]. Once the name was changed to "Brother MFC-7340" in the .inf file, the additional driver could be added on the Windows 7 side. Then the driver could be installed on the Vista machine. The only way to get the driver to the Vista side was from the Windows 7 machine to which the printer was connected.
