Deskjet 1280 driver for Windows 7 Home 32 bit

I have bought ,exclusively;  HP product for home and business for over thirty years and have now had four instances of (supposed) auto-destruct.  
I have a Deskjet 1280 (with, now,  an expired warranty)  and can not obtain a driver to work it from my replacement computer.  The HP support site has proven unhelpful ( after half a day's concentrated effort! ).  
Is it a matter of HP policy to deny its loyal customers access to their purchases after a predetermined period?
Am I mistaken or would I be wise to alter my allegience?

Hi @davidse 
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Deskjet 1280 Printer support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

  • HP Deskjet 1280 Driver for windows 8.1 Pro

    Hi Team,
    I have upgraded my compter operating system from windows 7 professional to windows 8.1 pro now, I unable to install  HP deskjet 1280 printer to new operating system. 
    Can you please send me a link to download the driver.
    Regards,
    Umesh

    Hi @Umesh_kanth ,
    I understand that you need the driver for Windows 8.1. I would be happy to help you.
    I checked the website and unfortunately there isn't any drivers to be able to download for Windows 8.1 for the HP Deskjet 1280 Printer. But you should be able to install the printer with a Windows generic driver. Plug the printer into the computer to see if Windows will automatically install a OS. driver.
    You might have to add the driver manually, here are the steps:
    Go to the start up screen. (tiles menu)
    Type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
    Click on Add Printer and follow the steps.
    Select the HP Deskjet PCL3 Class Driver from the list.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • DESKJET 722C DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7

    I RECENTLY UPGRADED TO AN HP PAVILION. MY PRINTER IS AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE 722C. I BOUGHT AN ADAPTER CABLE TO CONVERT THE 25 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE PRINTER CABLE TO A USB CONNECTOR. I TRIED HP'S WEB SITE TO GET A DRIVER AND HP SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE A DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7. DOES ANYONE  HAVE A SUGGESTION ON HOW TO PROCEED FROM HERE BESIDES DEEP SIXING MY 722 AND BUYING A NEW PRINTER ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry, but the above will not work.  The Deskjet 722 is a host based printer and is not compatible with the Deskjet 6980 driver.  
    You can install the driver as follows:  connect the printer with the USB-parallel converter.  Click on Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer and select the proper port. When the list of printers appears click on Windows Update and wait a few minutes for the list to repopulate*.  Once the list repopulates select HP as the manufacturer (not Hewlett-Packard) and select the Deskjet 720c driver, Next.
    Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows 7?  If you have a 64 bit Windows 7 you will need a patch as the supplied driver crashes the spooler.  After installing the printer (but before printing anything, including a test page) install the patch available here.
    * Edit - If you get an error "Windows was unable to get a list..." when you click on the Windows Update button then see the workaround here.

  • Deskjet 5150 driver for Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I have recently added a new laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) to a small home network and want to be able to use the existing Deskjet 5150 printer. The printer is attached to a desktop that has Windows XP.  How can I get a driver for the windows 7, so that I can also print from the laptop via the network? 
    This question was solved.

    Try the following: on the Windows 7 machine go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then click on Windows Update and then select the Hewlett-Packard HP Deskjet 5150 series.

  • HP Deskjet 3920 driver for Windows 7 64 bit not available anywhere

    Printer HP Deskjet 3920
    No drver software is available for operating system Windows 7 64 bit
    This is the 4th week since I started search.

    Hello I am an employee at HP and I just replied to another person on the same type of problem.  I don't know if you already did this but I had the same problem on a different printer and it worked for me.  You have to have the printer turned on and hooked up to your PC and then do a Windows Update.  With Win7 update the process will see that you have the printer and need a driver and should give you the option to download it.  You can then select it and download it and it should work.  Here is also the text from the HP website.  I hope this works for you.
    NOTE:When you connect the USB cable to the printer, and then to the computer, Windows 7 activates Windows Update. Windows Update searches online for the most recent product driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more recent than the driver stored in Windows 7, the computer downloads and installs the updated driver.The Windows Update process takes place automatically. Therefore, you might not notice that the process is in progress.

  • Deskjet 3650 driver for Windows 7

    Dear People,
    As far as I know the driver and a very nice little utility program for the Deskjet 3650 that came with the printer and ran on Windows XP has been ported to Windows 7.  I say that because I believe I saw them on the HP web site a couple of months ago.
    Now I cannot find them.
    Question: where are they and/or may I have them?
    Please do not suggest that the Microsoft driver is adequate.  It is not, it suffers several shortcomings that the HP version does not.
    Thank you for your attention.  :-)

    ps. You need to use pull down windows to select the right one (32 or 64 bit).

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...

  • Installing HP Laser Jet 5 driver for Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit

    I had an issue with installing an HP LaserJet 5 printer to a WIndows 7 64-bit box.  I thought I would post my experience and solution to this problem so that others can quickly resolve similar issues.
    If you connect as I did with a Parallel Printer-to-USB cable, then Win-7 searches for drivers automatically. But none werre found. However, using "Add Printer" via Control Panel/View Devices and Printers/Printers and Faxes, then left click starts the process for finding and installing the HP driver needed.
    No need as others have suggested to go to HP Support Center to install their Universal Printing PCL 5 driver found here:
    www1.hp.com/...Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5/
    Hope this helps speed you on your way!

    Thanks for sharing your tip RatioCynic!  That's what this forum is all about!
    Happy printing!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The drivers are available via Windows Update, follow these steps to install the printer:

  • X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

    Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
    System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
    As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
    The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
    Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
    What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
    So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
    - where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
    - why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
    Thanks to everyone
